A General Dependence Test and Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a test, based on the correlation integral, for the independence of a variable and a vector that can be used to detect model misspecification in serially dependent data. In Monte Carlo simulations this test performs nearly as well or better than the BDS test in univariate time series and complements the BDS test in distributed lag models. Finally, we apply our test to detect misspecification in models of U.S. unemployment data.

متن کاملExistence and uniqueness of the solution for a general system of operator equations in $b-$metric spaces endowed with a graph
The purpose of this paper is to present some coupled fixed point results on a metric space endowed with two $b$-metrics. We shall apply a fixed point theorem for an appropriate operator on the Cartesian product of the given spaces endowed with directed graphs. Data dependence, well-posedness and Ulam-Hyers stability are also studied. The results obtained here will be applied to prove the existe...
