Why the phylogenetic regression appears robust to tree misspecification.
The phylogenetic comparative method uses estimates of evolutionary relationships to explicitly model the covariance structure of interspecific data. By accounting for common ancestry, the coevolution between 2 or more traits, as a response to one another or to environmental variables, can be studied without confounding similarities due to identity by descent. Because the true phylogeny is unkno...
متن کاملRobust control and model misspecification
A decision maker fears that data are generated by a statistical perturbation of an approximating model that is either a controlled diffusion or a controlled measure over continuous functions of time. A perturbation is constrained in terms of its relative entropy. Several different two-player zero-sum games that yield robust decision rules and are related to one another, to the max-min expected ...
متن کاملAustralasian money demand stability: Application of structural break tests
Estimates of the demand for money provide important foundations for monetary policy setting but if the estimation technique does not explicitly account for structural changes then such estimates will be biased. This paper presents an investigation into the level and stability of money demand (M1) for Australia and New Zealand over the 1960-2009 period and demonstrates that both countries experi...
متن کاملHeteroskedasticity-Robust Tests for Structural Change
It is remarkably easy to test for structural change, of the type that the classic F or “Chow” test is designed to detect, in a manner that is robust to heteroskedasticity of possibly unknown form. This paper first discusses how to test for structural change in nonlinear regression models by using a variant of the Gauss-Newton regression. It then shows how to make these tests robust to heteroske...
متن کاملRobust GMM tests for structural breaks
We propose a class of new robust Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) tests for endogenous structural breaks. The tests are based on supremum, average and exponential functionals derived from robust GMM estimators with bounded influence function. We study the theoretical local robustness properties of the new tests and show that they imply a uniformly bounded asymptotic sensitivity of size and p...
