We establish an asymptotic approach for checking the appropriateness of an assumed multivariate spatial regression model by considering the set-indexed partial sums process of the least squares residuals of the vector of observations. In this work, we assume that the components of the observation, whose mean is generated by a certain basis, are correlated. By this reason we need more effort in deriving the results. To get the limit process we apply the multivariate analog of the well-known Prohorov’s theorem. To test the hypothesis we define tests which are given by Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) and Cramér-von Mises (CvM) functionals of the partial sums processes. The calibration of the probability distribution of the tests is conducted by proposing bootstrap resampling technique based on the residuals. We studied the finite sample size performance of the KS and CvM tests by simulation. The application of the proposed test procedure to real data is also discussed.

Several recent papers treated robust and efficient estimation of tail index parameters for (equivalent) Pareto and truncated exponential models, for large and small samples. New robust estimators of “generalized median” (GM) and “trimmed mean” (T) type were introduced and shown to provide more favorable trade-offs between efficiency and robustness than several well-established estimators, including those corresponding to methods of maximum likelihood, quantiles, and percentile matching. Here we investigate performance of the above mentioned estimators on real data and establish — via the use of goodness-of-fit measures — that favorable theoretical properties of the GM and T type estimators translate into an excellent practical performance. Further, we arrive at guidelines for Pareto model diagnostics, testing, and selection of particular robust estimators in practice. Model fits provided by the estimators are ranked and compared on the basis of Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Cramér-von Mises, and Anderson-Darling statistics.

This article studied the goodness-of-fit tests for the beta Gompertz distribution with four parameters based on a complete sample. The parameters were estimated by the maximum likelihood method. Critical values were found by Monte Carlo simulation for the modified Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Anderson-Darling, Cramer-von Mises, and Lilliefors test statistics. The power of these test statistics founded the optimal alternative distribution. Real data applications were used as examples for the goodness of fit tests.

Crossing Probabilities

The intention of the present paper is to establish an approximation method to the limiting power functions of tests conducted based on Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Cramér-von Mises functionals of set-indexed partial sums of multivariate regression residuals. The limiting powers appear as vectorial boundary crossing probabilities. Their upper and lower bounds are derived by extending some existing results for shifted univariate Gaussian process documented in the literatures. The application of multivariate Cameron-Martin translation formula on the space of high dimensional set-indexed continuous functions is demonstrated. The rate of decay of the power function to a presigned value α is also studied. Our consideration is mainly for the trend plus signal model including multivariate set-indexed Brownian sheet and pillow. The simulation shows that the approach is useful for analyzing the performance of the test.

Abstract There is an enormous literature on the so-called Grenander estimator, which is merely the nonparametric maximum likelihood estimator of a nonincreasing probability density on [0, 1] (see, for instance, Grenander (1981)), but unfortunately, there is no nonasymptotic (i.e. for arbitrary finite sample size n) explicit upper bound for the quadratic risk of the Grenander estimator readily applicable in practice by statisticians. In this paper, we establish, for the first time, a simple explicit upper bound 2n−1/2 for the latter quadratic risk. It turns out to be a straightforward consequence of an inequality valid with probability one and bounding from above the integrated squared error of the Grenander estimator by the Kolmogorov–Smirnov statistic.

Noisy Measurements

We develop the first nonparametric significance test for regression models with classical measurement error in the regressors. In particular, a Cramér-von Mises test and a Kolmogorov–Smirnov test for the null hypothesis $E\left [Y|X^{*},Z^{*}\right ]=E\left [Y|X^{*}\right ]$ are proposed when only noisy measurements of $X^{*}$ and $Z^{*}$ are available. The asymptotic null distributions of the test statistics are derived, and a bootstrap method is implemented to obtain the critical values. Despite the test statistics being constructed using deconvolution estimators, we show that the test can detect a sequence of local alternatives converging to the null at the $\sqrt {n}$ -rate. We also highlight the finite sample performance of the test through a Monte Carlo study.

Quantile Inference

AbstractBased on the quantile regression, we extend Koenker and Xiao (2004) and Ling and McAleer (2004)’s works from finite-variance innovations to infinite-variance innovations. A robust t-ratio statistic to test for unit-root and a re-sampling method to approximate the critical values of the t-ratio statistic are proposed in this paper. It is shown that the limit distribution of the statistic is a functional of stable processes and a Brownian bridge. The finite sample studies show that the proposed t-ratio test always performs significantly better than the conventional unit-root tests based on least squares procedure, such as the Augmented Dick Fuller (ADF) and Philliphs-Perron (PP) test, in the sense of power and size when infinite-variance disturbances exist. Also, quantile Kolmogorov-Smirnov (QKS) statistic and quantile Cramer-von Mises (QCM) statistic are considered, but the finite sample studies show that they perform poor in power and size, respectively. An application to the Consumer Price Index for nine countries is also presented.

In this paper, we develop some goodness of fit tests for Rayleigh distribution based on Phi-divergence. Using Monte Carlo simulation, we compare the power of the proposed tests with some traditional goodness of fit tests including Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Anderson-Darling and Cramer von-Mises tests. The results indicate that the proposed tests perform well as compared with their competing tests in the literature. Finally, the proposed procedures are illustrated via a real data set.
