Non-nested model selection in unstable environments
We consider non-nested model selection tests in the presence of possible data and parameter instabilities. The novelty of our approach is that we allow the models’ relative performance to be varying over time, whereas existing model selection techniques look for an overall best model. We argue that the time path of the models’ relative performance may contain useful information that is lost whe...

متن کاملOptimal tests for nested model selection with underlying parameter instability
This paper develops optimal tests for model selection between two nested models in the presence of underlying parameter instability. These are joint tests for both parameter instability and a null hypothesis on a subset of the parameters. They modify the existing tests for parameter instability to allow the parameter vector to be unknown. These tests statistics are useful if one is interested i...
متن کاملEvolution of virulence: interdependence, constraints, and selection using nested models.
Natural selection acts on virus populations at two distinct but interrelated levels: within individual hosts and between them. Studies of the evolution of virulence typically focus on selection acting at the epidemiological or between-host level and demonstrate the importance of trade-offs between disease transmission and virulence rates. Within-host studies reach similar conclusions regarding ...
متن کاملNon - Nested Model Selection / Validation : Making Credible Postsample Inference Feasible
Effective, credible inference with respect to the postsample forecasting performance of time series models is widely held to be infeasible. Consequently, the model selection and Granger-causality literatures have focussed almost exclusively on in-sample tests, which can easily be biased by typical specification-search activity. Indeed, the postsample error series generated by competing models a...
