Nonparametric Goodness-of-fit
This paper develops an approach to testing the adequacy of both classical and Bayesian models given sample data. An important feature of the approach is that we are able to test the practical scientiic hypothesis of whether the true underlying model is close to some hypothesized model. The notion of closeness is based on measurement precision and requires the introduction of a metric for which ...
متن کاملA Nonparametric Goodness-of-fit-based Test for Conditional Heteroskedasticity∗
In this paper we propose a nonparametric test for conditional heteroskedasticity based on a new measure of nonparametric goodness-of-fit (R2). In analogy with the ANOVA tools for classical linear regression models, the nonparametric R2 is obtained for the local polynomial regression of the residuals from a parametric regression on some covariates. It is close to 0 under the null hypothesis of c...
متن کاملNonparametric Goodness-of-Fit Tests for Discrete Null Distributions
Methodology extending nonparametric goodness-of-fit tests to discrete null distributions has existed for several decades. However, modern statistical software has generally failed to provide this methodology to users. We offer a revision of R’s ks.test() function and a new cvm.test() function that fill this need in the R language for two of the most popular nonparametric goodness-of-fit tests. ...
متن کاملTwo-sample Bayesian nonparametric goodness of fit test
Testing the difference between two data samples is of a particular interest in statistics. being unknown continuous cumulative distribution functions, we wish to test the null hypothesis : :. In this talk, we propose an effective and convenient Bayesian nonparametric approach to assess the equality of two unknown distributions. The method is based on the Kolmogorov distance and approximate samp...
متن کاملNonparametric Goodness-of-fit Test for Heteroscedastic Regression Models
For the heteroscedastic nonparametric regression model Yni = m(xni)+σ(xni)2ni, i = 1, ..., n, a novel method is proposed for testing that the regression function m is constant. The test statistic is motivated by recent developments in the asymptotic theory for analysis of variance when the number of factor levels is large. Its asymptotic normality is derived under the null hypothesis and suitab...
