Empirical characteristic function-based tests for multivariate stable distributions
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider goodness–of–fit testing for multivariate stable distributions. The proposed test statistics exploit a characterizing property of the characteristic function of these distributions and are consistent under some conditions. The asymptotic distribution is derived under the null hypothesis as well as under local alternatives. Conditions for an asymptotic null distribution free of parameters and for affine invariance are provided. Computational issues are discussed in detail and simulations show that with proper choice of the user parameters involved, the new tests lead to powerful omnibus procedures for the problem at hand.

On the Canonical-Based Goodness-of-fit Tests for Multivariate Skew-Normality
It is well-known that the skew-normal distribution can provide an alternative model to the normal distribution for analyzing asymmetric data. The aim of this paper is to propose two goodness-of-fit tests for assessing whether a sample comes from a multivariate skew-normal (MSN) distribution. We address the problem of multivariate skew-normality goodness-of-fit based on the empirical Laplace tra...
متن کاملGoodness-of-Fit Tests for Symmetric Stable Distributions – Empirical Characteristic Function Approach
We consider goodness-of-fit tests of symmetric stable distributions based on weighted integrals of the squared distance between the empirical characteristic function of the standardized data and the characteristic function of the standard symmetric stable distribution with the characteristic exponent α estimated from the data. We treat α as an unknown parameter, but for theoretical simplicity w...
متن کاملA New Goodness-of-Fit Test for a Distribution by the Empirical Characteristic Function
Extended Abstract. Suppose n i.i.d. observations, X1, …, Xn, are available from the unknown distribution F(.), goodness-of-fit tests refer to tests such as H0 : F(x) = F0(x) against H1 : F(x) $neq$ F0(x). Some nonparametric tests such as the Kolmogorov--Smirnov test, the Cramer-Von Mises test, the Anderson-Darling test and the Watson test have been suggested by comparing empirical ...
متن کاملTests for normal mixtures based on the empirical characteristic function
A goodness–of–fit test for two–component homoscedastic and homothetic mixtures of normal distributions is proposed. The tests are based on a weighted L2–type distance between the empirical characteristic function and its population counterpart, where in the latter, parameters are replaced by consistent estimators. Consequently the resulting tests are consistent against general alternatives. Whe...
متن کاملSimple techniques for likelihood analysis of univariate and multivariate stable distributions: with extensions to multivariate stochastic volatility and dynamic factor models
In this paper we consider a variety of procedures for numerical statistical inference in the family of univariate and multivariate stable distributions. In connection with univariate distributions (i) we provide approximations by finite location-scale mixtures and (ii) versions of approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) using the characteristic function and the asymptotic form of the likelihood ...
