Abstract
En 中文
This paper considers the problem of consistent model specification tests using series estimation methods. The null models we consider in this paper all contain some nonparametric components. A leading case we consider is to test for an additive partially linear model. The null distribution of the test statistic is derived using a central limit theorem for Hilbert-valued random arrays. The test statistic is shown to be able to detect local alternatives that approach the null models at the order of O-p(n(-1/2)). We show that the wild bootstrap method can be used to approximate the null distribution of the test statistic. A small Monte Carlo simulation is reported to examine the finite sample performance of the proposed test. We also show that the proposed test can be easily modified to obtain series-based consistent tests for other semiparametric/nonparametric models. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
