Comparisons of Tests for the Presence of Random Walk Coefficients in a Simple Linear Model
نویسنده
چکیده
The locally most powerful test is derived for the hypothesis that the regression coefficients are constant over time against the alternative that they vary according to the random walk process. When the regression equation contains the constant term only, comparisons are made with the tests suggested by LaMotte and McWhorter (1978). These are based on exact powers and on three different types of asymptotic efficiencies including the classical Pitman and Bahadur approaches and the new one due to Gregory (1980). The concept of the Bahadur efficiency is extended to cover also the random slopes. Suggestions are made for choosing the test.

متن کاملTesting for Stochastic Non- Linearity in the Rational Expectations Permanent Income Hypothesis
The Rational Expectations Permanent Income Hypothesis implies that consumption follows a martingale. However, most empirical tests have rejected the hypothesis. Those empirical tests are based on linear models. If the data generating process is non-linear, conventional tests may not assess some of the randomness properly. As a result, inference based on conventional tests of linear models can b...

Assuming a first-order auto-regressive model for the auto-correlation structure between observations, in this paper, a transformation method is first employed to eliminate the effect of auto-correlation. Then, a maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) of a step change in the parameters of the transformed model is derived and three separate EWMA control charts are used to monitor the parameters of th...
متن کاملA PRELUDE TO THE THEORY OF RANDOM WALKS IN RANDOM ENVIRONMENTS
A random walk on a lattice is one of the most fundamental models in probability theory. When the random walk is inhomogenous and its inhomogeniety comes from an ergodic stationary process, the walk is called a random walk in a random environment (RWRE). The basic questions such as the law of large numbers (LLN), the central limit theorem (CLT), and the large deviation principle (LDP) are ...
