Semiparametrically Efficient Rank-based Inference for Shape I. Optimal Rank-based Tests for Sphericity
We propose a class of rank-based procedures for testing that the shape matrix V of an elliptical distribution (with unspecified center of symmetry, scale, and radial density) has some fixed value V0; this includes, for V0 = Ik, the problem of testing for sphericity as an important particular case. The proposed tests are invariant under translations, monotone radial transformations, rotations, a...
متن کاملA Class of Simple Semiparametrically Efficient Rank-Based Unit Root Tests
We propose a class of simple rank-based tests for the null hypothesis of a unit root. This class is indexed by the choice of a reference density g, which needs not coincide with the unknown actual innovation density f . The validity of these tests, in terms of exact finite sample size, is guaranteed by distribution-freeness, irrespective of the value of the drift and the actual underlying f . W...
متن کاملOptimal Fractional Dickey-fuller Tests for Unit Roots
This article considers the fractional Dickey-Fuller test for unit roots introduced recently by Dolado, Gonzalo and Mayoral (2002). The implementation of this test depends on a nuisance parameter that affects the power of the test. Since the arbitrary selection proposed by these authors is not optimal, in this article we investigate optimality aspects of the class of tests indexed by this parame...
متن کاملF versus t tests for unit roots
F tests which test jointly for a unit root and a zero intercept, and so compete against Dickey−Fuller t tests, are shown not to enhance power because they are invariant to the intercept value in the absence of a unit root. Monte Carlo results in the literature that indicate otherwise are shown to have resulted from the use of special starting values. Testing procedures that employ these F tests...
متن کاملHybrid Stochastic Local Unit Roots
Two approaches have dominated formulations designed to capture small departures from unit root autoregressions. The first involves deterministic departures that include local-to-unity (LUR) and mildly (or moderately) integrated (MI) specifications where departures shrink to zero as the sample size n → ∞. The second approach allows for stochastic departures from unity, leading to stochastic unit...
