单指标模型异方差检验（英文）

在可加回归模型中,高维回归分析一般采用单指标模型.该模型与参数模型相比更加灵活,同时避免了维数灾难,因为单指标将标准变量向量的维数降低为单变量指标.本文构建了一个带有函数型误差项的单指数回归模型用于检验单指标模型的异方差性.由于回归模型的有效推断要求在存在异方差的情况下考虑异方差,本文提出了检验单指标模型方差不变性的假设.将Levene检验和无限因子水平的方差分析理论结合得到检验统计量用来评估方差同质性.模拟研究显示与已有方法相比,所提检验统计量适用于多种情形.最后将本文的方法应用于分析一组实际数据.

Testing Regression Coefficients in High-Dimensional and Sparse Settings

In the high-dimensional setting, this article considers a canonical testing problem in multivariate analysis, namely testing coefficients in linear regression models. Several tests for highdimensional regression coefficients have been proposed in the recent literature. However, these tests are based on the sum of squares type statistics, that perform well under the dense alternatives and suffer from low power under the sparse alternatives. In order to attack this issue, we introduce a new test statistic which is based on the maximum type statistic and magnifies the sparse signals. The limiting null distribution of the test statistic is shown to be the extreme value distribution of type I and the power of the test is analysed. In particular, it is shown theoretically and numerically that the test is powerful against sparse alternatives. Numerical studies are carried out to examine the numerical performance of the test and to compare it with other tests available in the literature.     

Khmaladze transformation of integrated variance processes with applications to goodness-of-fit testing

In the common nonparametric regression model the problem of testing for a specific parametric form of the variance function is considered. Recently Dette and Hetzler [8] proposed a test statistic which is based on an empirical process of pseudo residuals. The process converges weakly to a Gaussian process with a complicated covariance kernel depending on the data generating process. In the present paper we consider a standardized version of this process and propose an application of the Khmaladze transformation to obtain asymptotically distribution-free tests for the corresponding Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Cramér-von Mises functionals. The finite-sample properties of the proposed tests are investigated by means of a simulation study.      

Testing covariates in high-dimensional regression

In a high-dimensional linear regression model, we propose a new procedure for testing statistical significance of a subset of regression coefficients. Specifically, we employ the partial covariances between the response variable and the tested covariates to obtain a test statistic. The resulting test is applicable even if the predictor dimension is much larger than the sample size. Under the null hypothesis, together with boundedness and moment conditions on the predictors, we show that the proposed test statistic is asymptotically standard normal, which is further supported by Monte Carlo experiments. A similar test can be extended to generalized linear models. The practical usefulness of the test is illustrated via an empirical example on paid search advertising.     

Post-J test inference in non-nested linear regression models

This paper considers the post-J test inference in non-nested linear regression models. Post-J test inference means that the inference problem is considered by taking the first stage J test into account. We first propose a post-J test estimator and derive its asymptotic distribution. We then consider the test problem of the unknown parameters, and a Wald statistic based on the post-J test estimator is proposed. A simulation study shows that the proposed Wald statistic works perfectly as well as the two-stage test from the view of the empirical size and power in large-sample cases, and when the sample size is small, it is even better. As a result,the new Wald statistic can be used directly to test the hypotheses on the unknown parameters in non-nested linear regression models.     

A semiparametric Wald statistic for testing logistic regression models based on case-control data

We propose a semiparametric Wald statistic to test the validity of logistic regression models based on case-control data. The test statistic is constructed using a semiparametric ROC curve estimator and a nonparametric ROC curve estimator. The statistic has an asymptotic chisquared distribution and is an alternative to the Kolmogorov-Smirnov-type statistic proposed by Qin and Zhang in 1997, the chi-squared-type statistic proposed by Zhang in 1999 and the information matrix test statistic proposed by Zhang in 2001. The statistic is easy to compute in the sense that it requires none of the following methods: using a bootstrap method to find its critical values, partitioning the sample data or inverting a high-dimensional matrix. We present some results on simulation and on analysis of two real examples. Moreover, we discuss how to extend our statistic to a family of statistics and how to construct its Kolmogorov-Smirnov counterpart.

Testing for Covariance Matrices in Panel Data Models with Interactive Fixed Effect

In this paper, we focus on the tests for covariance matrices in panel data model with interactive fixed effects. For the problem of testing identity and sphericity of covariance matrices, we first propose test statistics based on the estimators of the trace of covariance matrices. Under both the null hypothesis and the alternatives, we establish the asymptotic distributions of the proposed test statistics under some regularity conditions, and we further show that the proposed tests are distribution free. Subsequently simulation studies suggest that the proposed tests perform well under the high dimensional panel data.

Testing inference in heteroskedastic fixed effects models

This paper considers the issue of performing testing inference in fixed effects panel data models under heteroskedasticity of unknown form. We use numerical integration to compute the exact null distributions of different quasi-t test statistics and compare them to their limiting counterpart. The test statistics use different heteroskedasticity-consistent standard errors. Our results reveal that the asymptotic approximation is usually poor in small samples when the test statistic is based on the covariance matrix estimator proposed by Arellano (1987). The quality of the approximation is greatly increased when the standard error is obtained using other heteroskedasticity-consistent estimators, most notably the CHC4 estimator. Our results also reveal that the performance of Arellano’s test improves considerably when standard errors are computed using restricted residuals.     

Hypothesis tests for high-dimensional covariance structures

We consider hypothesis testing for high-dimensional covariance structures in which the covariance matrix is a (i) scaled identity matrix, (ii) diagonal matrix, or (iii) intraclass covariance matrix. Our purpose is to systematically establish a nonparametric approach for testing the high-dimensional covariance structures (i)–(iii). We produce a new common test statistic for each covariance structure and show that the test statistic is an unbiased estimator of its corresponding test parameter. We prove that the test statistic establishes the asymptotic normality. We propose a new test procedure for (i)–(iii) and evaluate its asymptotic size and power theoretically when both the dimension and sample size increase. We investigate the performance of the proposed test procedure in simulations. As an application of testing the covariance structures, we give a test procedure to identify an eigenvector. Finally, we demonstrate the proposed test procedure by using a microarray data set.
