Specification Tests for Nonlinear Dynamic Models
We propose a new adequacy test and a graphical evaluation tool for nonlinear dynamic models. The proposed techniques can be applied in any setup where parametric conditional distribution of the data is specified, in particular to models involving conditional volatility, conditional higher moments, conditional quantiles, asymmetry, Value at Risk models, duration models, diffusion models, etc. Co...
متن کاملSpecification Tests for Nonlinear Time Series Models
This paper proposes a new parametric model adequacy test for possibly nonlinear time series models such as generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (GARCH) and autoregressive conditional duration (ACD). We consider the correct specification of parametric conditional distributions, not only some particular conditional characteristics. Using the true parametric conditional distri...
متن کاملBlinder-Oaxaca Decomposition for Tobit Models
Blinder-Oaxaca Decomposition for Tobit Models In this paper, a decomposition method for Tobit-models is derived, which allows the differences in a censored outcome variable between two groups to be decomposed into a part that is explained by differences in observed characteristics and a part attributable to differences in the estimated coefficients. The method is applied to a decomposition of t...
متن کاملSpecification Tests of Calibrated Option Pricing Models
In spite of the popularity of model calibration in nance, empirical researchers have put more emphasis on model estimation than on the equally important goodness-of- t problem. This is due partly to the ignorance of modelers, and more to the ability of existing statistical tests to detect speci cation errors. In practice, models are often calibrated by minimizing the sum of squared di¤erence b...
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...
