A nonparametric independence test using random permutations
We propose a new nonparametric test for the supposition of independence between two continuous random variables X and Y. Given a sample of (X,Y ), the test is based on the size of the longest increasing subsequence of the permutation which maps the ranks of the X observations to the ranks of the Y observations. We identify the independence assumption between the two continuous variables with th...
متن کاملA Nonparametric Distribution-Free Test for Serial Independence of Errors∗
In this paper, we propose a test for the serial independence of unobservable errors in locationscale models. We consider a Hoeffding-Blum-Kiefer-Rosenblat type empirical process applied to residuals, and show that under certain conditions it converges weakly to the same limit as the process based on true errors. We then consider a generalized spectral test applied to estimated residuals, and ge...
متن کاملA Nonparametric Hellinger Metric Test for Conditional Independence∗
We propose a nonparametric test of conditional independence based on the weighted Hellinger distance between the two conditional densities, f(y|x, z) and f(y|x), which is identically zero under the null. We use the functional delta method to expand the test statistic around the population value and establish asymptotic normality under β-mixing conditions. We show that the test is consistent and...
متن کاملA nonparametric test of stochastic dominance in multivariate distributions
The literature on statistical test of stochastic dominance has thus far been concerned with univariate distributions. This paper presents nonparametric statistical tests for multivariate distributions. This allows a nonparametric treatment of multiple welfare indicators. These test are applied to a time series of cross-section datasets on household level total expenditure and non labour market ...
متن کاملA High-Dimensional Nonparametric Multivariate Test for Mean Vector.
This work is concerned with testing the population mean vector of nonnormal high-dimensional multivariate data. Several tests for high-dimensional mean vector, based on modifying the classical Hotelling T2 test, have been proposed in the literature. Despite their usefulness, they tend to have unsatisfactory power performance for heavy-tailed multivariate data, which frequently arise in genomics...
