Conditional Moment Tests for Parametric Duration Models
This paper develops and compares specification tests for parametric duration models estimated with censored data. The tests are based on generalized residuals (the integrated hazard), which is exponentially distributed if the model is correctly specified. I present several conditional moment tests based on the generalized residuals: a raw moments test, a test based on Laguerre polynomials, and ...
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...
متن کاملOn the performance of nonparametric specification tests in regression models
Some recently developed nonparametric specification tests for regression models are described in a unified way. The common characteristic of these tests is that they are consistent against any alternative hypothesis. The performance of the test statistics is compared by means of Monte Carlo simulations, analysing how heteroskedasticity, number of regressors and bandwidth selection influence the...
متن کاملNonparametric Tests for Conditional Independence Using Conditional Distributions∗
The concept of causality is naturally defined in terms of conditional distribution, however almost all the empirical works focus on causality in mean. This paper aim to propose a nonparametric statistic to test the conditional independence and Granger non-causality between two variables conditionally on another one. The test statistic is based on the comparison of conditional distribution funct...
متن کاملNonparametric tests of conditional treatment effects
We develop a general class of nonparametric tests for treatment effects conditional on covariates. We consider a wide spectrum of null and alternative hypotheses regarding conditional treatment effects, including (i) the null hypothesis of the conditional stochastic dominance between treatment and control groups; (ii) the null hypothesis that the conditional average treatment effect is positive...
