Testing for the Martingale Hypothesis
This paper proposes general speci...cation tests for the martingale hypothesis. They can be used to test the null hypothesis that a given time series is a martingale process, against the alternative hypothesis that it is a stationary ergodic nonmartingale process. We consider tests of two di¤erent types: one is a generalized Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and the other is a Cramer-von Mises type test....
متن کاملTesting the Martingale Hypothesis By
We propose new tests of the martingale hypothesis based on generalized versions of the Kolmogorov– Smirnov and Cramér–von Mises tests. The tests are distribution-free and allow for a weak drift in the null model. The methods do not require either smoothing parameters or bootstrap resampling for their implementation and so are well suited to practical work. The article develops limit theory for ...
متن کاملSpectral based testing of the martingale hypothesis *
This paper proposes a method of testing whether a time series is a martingale. A general asymptotic theory is developed for the spectral distribution function of the first differences. Under the null hypothesis, the spectral distribution function is shaped as a straight line. Several tests are developed which determine whether the sample spectral distribution function possesses this shape. Thes...
متن کاملA Test of the Martingale Hypothesis
This paper proposes a statistical test of the martingale hypothesis. It can be used to test whether a given time series is a martingale process against certain non-martingale alternatives. The class of alternative processes against which our test has power is very general and it encompasses many nonlinear non-martingale processes which may not be detected using traditional spectrum-based or var...
متن کاملRevisiting the Dynamical Hypothesis
" There is a familiar trio of reactions by scientists to a purportedly radical hypothesis: (a) " You must be our of your mind! " , (b) " What else is new? Everybody knows that! " , and, later—if the hypothesis is still standing—(c) " Hmm. You might be on to something! " ((Dennett, 1995) p. 283)
