Durbin-watson Tests for Serial Correlation in Regressions with Missing Observations*
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study two Durbin-Watson type tests for serial correlation of errors in regression models when observations are missing. We derive them by applying standard methods used in time series and linear models to deal with missing observations. The first test may be viewed as a regular Durbin-Watson test in the context of an extended model. We discuss appropriate adjustments that allow one to use all available bounds tables. We show that the test is locally most powerful invariant against the same alternative error distribution as the Durbin-Watson test. The second test is based on a modified Durbin-Watson statistic suggested by Ring (1981a) and is locally most powerful invariant against a first-order autoregressive process.

Spatial Autocorrelation Approaches to Testing Residuals from Least Squares Regression
In geo-statistics, the Durbin-Watson test is frequently employed to detect the presence of residual serial correlation from least squares regression analyses. However, the Durbin-Watson statistic is only suitable for ordered time or spatial series. If the variables comprise cross-sectional data coming from spatial random sampling, the test will be ineffectual because the value of Durbin-Watson'...
متن کاملFinite sample power of the Durbin-Watson test against fractionally integrated disturbances
We consider the finite sample power of various tests against serial correlation in the disturbances of a linear regression when these disturbances follow a stationary long memory process. It emerges that the power depends on the form of the regressor matrix and that, for the Durbin-Watson test and many other tests that can be written as ratios of quadratic forms in the disturbances, the power c...

We provide a simple proof that the Chernoff-Savage [1] result, establishing the uniform dominance of normal-score rank procedures over their Gaussian competitors, also holds in a broad class of problems involving serial and/or multivariate observations. The non-admissibility of the corresponding everyday practice Gaussian procedures (multivariate least-squares estimators, multivariate t-tests a...
متن کاملSerial Correlation Tests with Wavelets
This paper offers two new statistical tests for serial correlation with better power properties. The first test is concerned with wavelet-based portmanteau tests of serial correlation. The second test extends the wavelet-based tests to the residuals of a linear regression model. The wavelet approach is appealing, since it is based on the different behavior of the spectra of a white noise proces...
