چکیده
This paper employs response surface regressions based on simulation experiments to calculate asymptotic distribution functions for the Johansen-type likelihood ratio tests for cointegration. These are carried out in the context of the models recently proposed by Pesaran, Shin, and Smith (1997) that allow for the possibility of exogenous variables integrated of order one. The paper calculates critical values that are very much more accurate than those available previously. The principal contributions of the paper are a set of data les that contain estimated asymptotic quantiles obtained from response surface estimation and a computer program for utilizing them. This program, which is freely available via the Internet, can be used to calculate both asymptotic critical values and P values.

متن کاملOmnibus Tests for Comparison of Competing
This paper develops omnibus tests for comparing cause-speciic hazard rates and cumulative incidence functions at speciied covariate levels. Conndence bands for the diierence and the ratio of two conditional cumulative incidence functions are also constructed. The omnibus test is formulated in terms of a test process given by a weighted diierence of estimates of cumulative cause-speciic hazard r...
متن کاملWeighted Average Power Similar Tests for Structural Change in the Gaussian Linear Regression Model
Average exponential F tests for structural change in a Gaussian linear regression model and modifications thereof maximize a weighted average power that incorporates specific weighting functions in order to make the resulting test statistics simple. Generalizations of these tests involve the numerical evaluation of (potentially) complicated integrals. In this paper, we suggest a uniform Laplace...
متن کاملLikelihood ratio tests in two gamma populations for equality of shape parameters Likelihood ratio tests in two gamma populations for equality of shape parameters
The introduction of shape parameters into the statistical literature opened new areas of research and allowed statisticians to use models that produced better fits to experimental data. The Weibull and gamma families are prime examples wherein shape parameters produce more reliable statistical models than standard exponential models in lifetime studies. In the presence of many gamma-populations...
