Hypothesis Testing of Population Percentiles via the Wald Test with Bootstrap Variance Estimates.
Testing the equality of percentiles (quantiles) between populations is an effective method for robust, nonparametric comparison, especially when the distributions are asymmetric or irregularly shaped. Unlike global nonparametric tests for homogeneity such as the Kolmogorv-Smirnov test, testing the equality of a set of percentiles (i.e., a percentile profile) yields an estimate of the location a...
متن کاملA Nonparametric Hypothesis Test via the Bootstrap Resampling
This paper adapts an already existing nonparametric hypothesis test to the bootstrap framework. The test utilizes the nonparametric kernel regression method to estimate a measure of distance between the models stated under the null hypothesis. The bootstraped version of the test allows to approximate errors involved in the asymptotic hypothesis test.
متن کاملRobust Performance Hypothesis Testing with the Variance
Applied researchers often test for the difference of the variance of two investment strategies; in particular, when the investment strategies under consideration aim to implement the global minimum variance portfolio. A popular tool to this end is the F -test for the equality of variances. Unfortunately, this test is not valid when the returns are correlated, have tails heavier than the normal ...
متن کاملBootstrap Variance Estimates for Neural Networks Regression Models
where f is a non linear continuous function, ( ) dt t t x x , , 1 K = x is a vector of d non stochastic explanatory variables defined on a compact א⊂R, and { } t Z is a stationary noise process with zero mean. The function f in the model (1) can be approximated with a single hidden layer feed-forward neural network; Hornik et al. (1989) have shown that this class of non linear functions can app...
متن کاملA Joint Variance Ratio Test based on the Wild Bootstrap
The variance ratio (VR) test has been widely used as a means of testing for the martingale hypothesis in financial time series. The conventional VR tests are asymptotic tests, which can exhibit deficient small sample properties. In this paper, a joint VR test based on the wild bootstrap is proposed. It is a small sample test which does not rely on asymptotic approximations. An extensive Monte C...
