It is shown that parametric bootstrap can be used for computing P-values of goodness-of-fit tests of multivariate time series parametric models. These models include Markovian models, GARCH models with non-Gaussian innovations, regime-switching models, as well as semi parametric models involving...

In this article, a new reciprocal Rayleigh extension called the Xgamma reciprocal Rayleigh model is defined and studied. The relevant statistical properties are derived, and the useful results related to the convexity and concavity are addressed. We discussed the estimation of the parameters...

In this paper we present a new asymptotically normal test for out-of-sample evaluation in nested models. Our approach is a simple modification of a traditional encompassing test that is commonly known as Clark and West test (CW). The key point of our strategy is to introduce an independent...

We study the asymptotic refinements of a fully nonparametric bootstrap approach for quasi-likelihood ratio type tests of nonlinear restrictions. This bootstrap method applies to extremum estimators, such as quasi-maximum likelihood and generalized method of moments estimators. Unlike existing...
