A technical note on divergence of the Wald statistic

Statistics Theory 2019-06-17 v1 Statistics Theory

Abstract

The Wald test statistic has been shown to diverge (Dufour et al, 2013, 2017) under some conditions. This note links the divergence to eigenvalues of a polynomial matrix and establishes the divergence rate.
