Heteroscedasticity and/or Autocorrelation Checks in Longitudinal Nonlinear Models with Elliptical and AR（1） Errors

The aim of this paper is to study the tests for variance heterogeneity and/or autocorrelation in nonlinear regression models with elliptical and AR(1) errors. The elliptical class includes several symmetric multivariate distributions such as normal, Student-t, power exponential, among others. Several diagnostic tests using score statistics and their adjustment are constructed. The asymptotic properties, including asymptotic chi-square and approximate powers under local alternatives of the score statistics, are studied. The properties of test statistics are investigated through Monte Carlo simulations. A data set previously analyzed under normal errors is reanalyzed under elliptical models to illustrate our test methods.

Score tests for inverse Gaussian mixtures

The mixed inverse Gaussian given by Whitmore (biScand. J. Statist., 13 , 1986, 211–220) provides a convenient way for testing the goodness‐of‐fit of a pure inverse Gaussian distribution. The test is a one‐sided score test with the null hypothesis being the pure inverse Gaussian (i.e. the mixing parameter is zero) and the alternative a mixture. We devise a simple score test and study its finite sample properties. Monte Carlo results show that it compares favourably with the smooth test of Ducharme ( Test , 10 , 2001, 271‐290). In practical applications, when the pure inverse Gaussian distribution is rejected, one is interested in making inference about the general values of the mixing parameter. However, as it is well known that the inverse Gaussian mixture is a defective distribution; hence, the standard likelihood inference cannot be applied. We propose several alternatives and provide score tests for the mixing parameter. Finite sample properties of these tests are examined by Monte Carlo simulation.

Goodness-of-Fit Tests for the Inverse Gaussian Distribution Based on the Empirical Laplace Transform

This paper considers two flexible classes of omnibus goodness-of-fit tests for the inverse Gaussian distribution. The test statistics are weighted integrals over the squared modulus of some measure of deviation of the empirical distribution of given data from the family of inverse Gaussian laws, expressed by means of the empirical Laplace transform. Both classes of statistics are connected to the first nonzero component of Neyman's smooth test for the inverse Gaussian distribution. The tests, when implemented via the parametric bootstrap, maintain a nominal level of significance very closely. A large-scale simulation study shows that the new tests compare favorably with classical goodness-of-fit tests for the inverse Gaussian distribution, based on the empirical distribution function.

Invariant Measures and Asymptotic Gaussian Bounds for Normal Forms of Stochastic Climate Model

The systematic development of reduced low-dimensional stochastic climate models from observations or comprehensive high dimensional climate models is an important topic for atmospheric low-frequency variability, climate sensitivity, and improved extended range forecasting. Recently, techniques from applied mathematics have been utilized to systematically derive normal forms for reduced stochastic climate models for low-frequency variables. It was shown that dyad and multiplicative triad interactions combine with the climatological linear operator interactions to produce a normal form with both strong nonlinear cubic dissipation and Correlated Additive and Multiplicative (CAM) stochastic noise. The probability distribution functions (PDFs) of low frequency climate variables exhibit small but significant departure from Gaussianity but have asymptotic tails which decay at most like a Gaussian. Here, rigorous upper bounds with Gaussian decay are proved for the invariant measure of general normal form stochastic models. Asymptotic Gaussian lower bounds are also established under suitable hypotheses.

Two New Mixture Models Related to the Inverse Gaussian Distribution

This article presents a new family of logarithmic distributions to be called the sinh mixture inverse Gaussian model and its associated life distribution referred as the extended mixture inverse Gaussian model. Specifically, the density, distribution function, and moments are developed for the sinh mixture inverse Gaussian distribution. Next, the extended mixture inverse Gaussian distribution is characterized. A graphical analysis of the densities of the new models is also provided. In addition, a lifetime analysis is presented for the extended mixture inverse Gaussian distribution. Finally, an example with a real data set is given to illustrate the methodology, which indicates that the new models result in a better fit to the data than some other well-known distributions.

A new instrumental variable estimation for diffusion processes

We consider the problem of parametric inference from continuous sample paths of the diffusion processes {x(t)} generated by the system of possibly nonstationary and/or nonlinear Ito stochastic differential equations. We propose a new instrumental variable estimator of the parameter whose pivotal statistic has a Gaussian distribution for all possible values of parameter. The new estimator enables us to construct exact level-α confidence intervals and tests for the parameter in the possibly non-stationary and/or nonlinear diffusion processes. Applications to several non-stationary and/or nonlinear diffusion processes are considered as examples. This work was supported by Korea Research Foundation Grant (KRF-2001-015-DP0057).     

Asymptotic tests of composite hypotheses for non-ergodic type stochastic processes

Limiting distributions of a score statistic and the likelihood ratio statistic for testing a composite hypothesis involving several parameters in non-ergodic type stochastic processes are obtained. It is shown that, unlike in the usual theory (ergodic type processes), the limiting distributions of these statistics are different both under the null and a contiguous sequence of alternative hypotheses. The results are applied to a regression model with explosive autoregressive Gaussian errors. In the discussion of this example a modified score statistic is suggested where the limiting null and non-null distributions are the same as those of the likelihood ratio statistic.

On consistent testing for serial correlation of unknown form in vector time series models

Multivariate autoregressive models with exogenous variables (VARX) are often used in econometric applications. Many properties of the basic statistics for this class of models rely on the assumption of independent errors. Using results of Hong (Econometrica 64 (1996) 837), we propose a new test statistic for checking the hypothesis of non-correlation or independence in the Gaussian case. The test statistic is obtained by comparing the spectral density of the errors under the null hypothesis of independence with a kernel-based spectral density estimator. The asymptotic distribution of the statistic is derived under the null hypothesis. This test generalizes the portmanteau test of Hosking (J. Amer. Statist. Assoc. 75 (1980) 602). The consistency of the test is established for a general class of static regression models with autocorrelated errors. Its asymptotic slope is derived and the asymptotic relative efficiency within the class of possible kernels is also investigated. Finally, the level and power of the resulting tests are also studied by simulation.
