Distribution-free Tests of Stochastic Monotonicity1
This article proposes an omnibus test for monotonicity of nonparametric conditional distributions and its moments. Unlike previous proposals, our method does not require smooth estimation of the derivatives of nonparametric curves and it can be implemented even when probability densities do not exist. In fact, we only require continuity of the marginal distributions under the null and fixed alt...
متن کاملA Distribution-free Test for Deprivation Dominance
The Rawlsian perspective on social policy pays particular attention to the least advantaged members of society, but how should “the least advantaged” be identified? The concept of deprivation dominance operationalizes in part the Rawlsian evaluation of the welfare of the least advantaged members of society, but a statistical procedure for testing deprivation dominance is needed. In this paper, ...
متن کاملAsymptotic Distribution-free Tests for Semiparametric Regressions
This article proposes a new general methodology for constructing nonparametric asymptotic distribution-free tests for semiparametric hypotheses in regression models. Tests are based on the difference between the estimated restricted and unrestricted regression errors’ distributions. A suitable integral transformation of this difference renders the tests asymptotically distribution-free, with li...
متن کاملEstimation of Distribution Functions under Second Order Stochastic Dominance
The concept of stochastic ordering as introduced by Lehmann (1955) plays a major role in the theory and practice of statistics, and a large body of existing statistical work concerns itself with the problem of estimating distribution functions F and G under the constraint that F (x) ≤ G(x) for all x. Nevertheless in economic theory, the weaker concept of second order stochastic dominance plays ...
متن کاملDistribution Free Specification Tests of Conditional Models
This article proposes a class of asymptotically distribution free speci cation tests for parametric conditional distributions. These tests are based on a martingale transform of a proper sequential empirical process of conditionally transformed data. Standard continuous functionals of this martingale provide omnibus tests while linear combinations of the orthogonal components in its spectral re...
