Testing for Regression Coefficient Stability with a Stationary Ar(1) Alternative
نویسندگان
چکیده
A bstract-We discuss the problem of testing for constant versus time varying regression coefficients. Our alternative hypothesis allows the coefficients to follow a stationary AR(1) process with unknown autoregressive parameter. Standard testing procedures are inappropriate since this parameter is identified only under the alternative. We propose a test statistic which is a function of a sequence of Score statistics, and depends only on the regressors and the OLS residuals. The distribution of the test statistic is discussed, power and size are investigated using Monte Carlo methods, and an empirical example investigating stability in the gold and silver markets is presented.

Optimal invariant tests for the autocorrelation coefficient in linear regressions with stationary or nonstationary AR( 1) errors
Inference on the autocorrelation coefficient p of a linear regression model with first-order autoregressive normal disturbances is studied. Both stationary and nonstationary processes are considered. Locally best and point-optimal invariant tests for any given value of p are derived. Special cases of these tests include tests for independence and tests for unit-root hypotheses. The powers of al...
متن کاملBias-adjusted estimation in the ARX(1) model
A new point estimator for the AR(1) coefficient in the linear regression model with arbitrary exogenous regressors and stationary AR(1) disturbances is developed. Its construction parallels that of the median--unbiased estimator, but uses the mode as a measure of central tendency. The mean--adjusted estimator is also considered, and saddlepoint approximations are used to lower the computational...
متن کاملUniform Interval Estimation for an AR(1) Process with AR Errors
Jonathan Hill1, Deyuan Li2∗ and Liang Peng3 Abstract. An empirical likelihood method was proposed in Hill and Peng (2014) to construct a unified interval estimation for the coefficient in an AR(1) model, regardless of whether the sequence was stationary or near integrated. The error term, however, was assumed independent, and this method fails when the errors are dependent. Testing for a unit r...
متن کاملANN Based Modeling for Prediction of Evaporation in Reservoirs (RESEARCH NOTE)
This paper is an attempt to assess the potential and usefulness of ANN based modeling for evaporation prediction from a reservoir, where in classical and empirical equations failed to predict the evaporation accurately. The meteorological data set of daily pan evaporation, temperature, solar radiation, relative humidity, wind speed is used in this study. The performance of feed forward back pro...
متن کاملStability Analysis of Genotype × Environment Interaction Effect on Sugar Yield in Sugar Beet Hybrids
Testing plant varieties under different regions is necessary to assess their stability. In this study, 17 sugar beet genotypes were evaluated in a randomized complete block design with six replications in five regions including Karaj, Hamedan, Miandoab, Mashhad, and Shiraz. After checking the homogeneity of mean squares in five experiments by Bartlett’s test, analysis of the combined was per...
