Specification Tests

 

Introduction  Previous page  Next page

 

In addition to all Common Features, the Specification tests dialog includes a "Tests" frame. In this frame you can select the various types of tests you wish to bootstrap. The choices are:

 

Serial correlation: The LM tests for no serial correlation.
Ljung-Box: The Ljung-Box Portmanteau test for no serial correlation.
Univariate ARCH: The LM tests for no ARCH on an equation-by-equation basis.
Multivariate ARCH: The LM test for no multivariate ARCH versus first order ARCH.
Normality: The Wald-type tests for no skewness, no excess kurtosis (relative to the Gaussian distribution), and a joint hypothesis.
Omnibus: The Shenton-Bowman/Doornik-Hansen omnibus test for no skewness and no excess kurtosis (relative to the Gaussian distribution).
Lag order: The LM and Wald tests of a greater (fewer) number of lags.
Weak exogeneity: Wald tests of a variable being weakly exogenous with respect to α and β.
Granger causality: Wald tests of no Granger causality.
