We consider tests of hypotheses when the parameters are not identifiable under the null in semiparametric models, where regularity conditions for profile likelihood theory fail. Exponential average tests based on integrated profile…

We present a review of several results concerning the construction of the Cramer-von Mises and Kolmogorov-Smirnov type goodness-of-fit tests for continuous time processes. As the models we take a stochastic differential equation with small…

In this paper some well-known tests based on empirical distribution functions (EDF) with estimated parameters for testing composite normality hypothesis are revisited, and some new results on asymptotic properties are provided. In…

We study the Bahadur efficiency of several weighted L2--type goodness--of--fit tests based on the empirical characteristic function. The methods considered are for normality and exponentiality testing, and for testing goodness--of--fit to…

The L\'evy distribution, alongside the Normal and Cauchy distributions, is one of the only three stable distributions whose density can be obtained in a closed form. However, there are only a few specific goodness-of-fit tests for the…

The main purpose of this paper is to provide an asymptotically optimal test. The proposed statistic is of Neyman-Pearson-type when the parameters are estimated with a particular kind of estimators. It is shown that the proposed estimators…

We construct integral and supremum type goodness-of-fit tests for the family of power distribution functions. Test statistics are functionals of $U-$empirical processes and are based on the classical characterization of power function…

This paper derives the rate of convergence and asymptotic distribution for a class of Kolmogorov-Smirnov style test statistics for conditional moment inequality models for parameters on the boundary of the identified set under general…

We propose a class of locally and asymptotically optimal tests, based on multivariate ranks and signs for the homogeneity of scatter matrices in $m$ elliptical populations. Contrary to the existing parametric procedures, these tests remain…

This paper proposes several tests of restricted specification in nonparametric instrumental regression. Based on series estimators, test statistics are established that allow for tests of the general model against a parametric or…

Classical tests of fit typically reject a model for large enough real data samples. In contrast, often in statistical practice a model offers a good description of the data even though it is not the "true" random generator. We consider a…

The paper proposes a specification test based on two estimates of distribution function. One is the traditional kernel distribution function estimate and the other is a newly proposed convolution-type distribution function estimate.…

We consider the goodness of fit testing problem for stochastic differential equation with small diffiusion coefficient. The basic hypothesis is always simple and it is described by the known trend coefficient. We propose several tests of…

The test for normality suggested by Epps and Pulley (1983) is a serious competitor to tests based on the empirical distribution function. In contrast to the latter procedures, it has been generalized to obtain a genuine affine invariant and…
