To test whether the diurnal variation is more reliably determined from filtered data, a daily harmonic analysis is made before and after filtering an adequate sequence of synthetic bihourly values containing only random noise and a 24-hour wave of constant phase and amplitude. For each of three filters it is shown, empirically, that the statistical uncertainty of the 24-hour wave from N days of such filtered data does not differ significantly from that from N days of unfiltered data. The filters were of different bandwidths and each was designed to pass the 24-hour wave.

We introduce a kernel-based estimator of the density function and regression function for data that have been grouped into family totals. We allow for a common intrafamily component but require that observations from different families be independent. We establish consistency and asymptotic normality for our procedures. As usual, the rates of convergence can be very slow depending on the behavior of the characteristic function at infinity. We investigate the practical performance of our method in a simple Monte Carlo experiment.

This paper compares the local power of tests for a nonlinear transformation of the dependent variable in a regression model against the alternative hypothesis of a linear transformation. It is shown that the local power of the Cox test is higher than those of the extended projection test of MacKinnon, White, and Davidson, and Bera and McAleer's test. The theoretical result is supported by a Monte-Carlo experiment in testing for a regression model with a logarithmically transformed dependent variable against a linear regression model.
