Heteroskedasticity-Robust Tests for Structural Change
It is remarkably easy to test for structural change, of the type that the classic F or “Chow” test is designed to detect, in a manner that is robust to heteroskedasticity of possibly unknown form. This paper first discusses how to test for structural change in nonlinear regression models by using a variant of the Gauss-Newton regression. It then shows how to make these tests robust to heteroske...
متن کاملOn the Usefulness or Lack Thereof of Optimality Criteria for Structural Change Tests∗
Elliott and Müller (2006) considered the problem of testing for general types of parameter variations, including infrequent breaks. They developed a framework that yields optimal tests, in the sense that they nearly attain some local Gaussian power envelop. The main ingredient in their setup is that the variance of the process generating the changes in the parameters must go to zero at a fast r...
متن کاملA Toolbox of Permutation Tests for Structural Change
The supLM test for structural change is embedded into a permutation test framework for a simple location model. The resulting conditional permutation distribution is compared to the usual (unconditional) asymptotic distribution, showing that the power of the test can be clearly improved in small samples. Furthermore, the permutation test is embedded into a general framework that encompasses too...
متن کاملGel Criteria for Moment Condition Models
GEL methods which generalize and extend previous contributions are defined and analysed for moment condition models specified in terms of weakly dependent data. These procedures offer alternative one-step estimators and tests that are asymptotically equivalent to their efficient two-step GMM counterparts. The basis for GEL estimation is via a smoothed version of the moment indicators using kern...
متن کاملCriteria for Generating Specification-Based Tests
This paper presents general criteria for generating test inputs from state-based speciications. Software testing can only be formalized and quantiied when a solid basis for test generation can be deened. Formal speciications of complex systems represent a signii-cant opportunity for testing because they precisely describe what functions the software is supposed to provide in a form that can eas...
