Nonparametric Tests for Independence
نویسنده
چکیده
Glossary Hypothesis A hypothesis is a statement concerning the (joint) distribution underlying the observed data. Nonparametric test In contrast to a parametric test, a nonparametric test does not presume a particular parametric structure concerning the data generating process. Serial dependence Statistical dependence among time series observations.

Nonparametric entropy-based tests of independence between stochastic processes
This paper develops nonparametric tests of independence between two stationary stochastic processes. The testing strategy boils down to gauging the closeness between the joint and the product of the marginal stationary densities. For that purpose, I take advantage of a generalized entropic measure so as to build a class of nonparametric tests of independence. Asymptotic normality and local powe...
متن کاملTests for Independence in Nonparametric Regression
Consider the nonparametric regression model Y = m(X) + ε, where the function m is smooth, but unknown. We construct tests for the independence of ε and X, based on n independent copies of (X, Y ). The testing procedures are based on differences of neighboring Y ’s. We establish asymptotic results for the proposed tests statistics, investigate their finite sample properties through a simulation ...
متن کاملFast Conditional Independence Test for Vector Variables with Large Sample Sizes
We present and evaluate the Fast (conditional) Independence Test (FIT) – a nonparametric conditional independence test. The test is based on the idea that when P (X | Y,Z) = P (X | Y ), Z is not useful as a feature to predict X , as long as Y is also a regressor. On the contrary, if P (X | Y, Z) 6= P (X | Y ), Z might improve prediction results. FIT applies to thousand-dimensional random variab...
متن کاملTesting Independence Based on Bernstein Empirical Copula and Copula Density
In this paper we provide three nonparametric tests of independence between continuous random variables based on Bernstein copula and copula density. The first test is constructed based on functional of Cramér-von Mises of the Bernstein empirical copula. The two other tests are based on Bernstein density copula and use Cramér-von Mises and Kullback-Leiber divergencetype respectively. Furthermore...
متن کاملConditional Independence Specication Testing for Dependent Processes with Local Polynomial Quantile Regression
We provide straightforward new nonparametric methods for testing conditional independence using local polynomial quantile regression, allowing weakly dependent data. Inspired by Hausmans (1978) speci cation testing ideas, our methods essentially compare two collections of estimators that converge to the same limits under correct speci cation (conditional independence) and that diverge under th...
