In this paper Pitman's asymptotic efficiencies (AE) as well as Kallenberg's intermediate AE of the goodness-of-fit tests based on higher-order non-overlapping spacings is considered. We study log statistic as well as entropy type statistic based on k-spacings when k may tend to infinity as n approaches infinity. It certainly compliments the available results for fixed k and provides more general result. We show that both types of statistics based on higher ordered spacings have higher efficiencies in Pitman's sense compared to their counterparts based on simple spacings. It is also shown that the Kallenberg's intermediate AE of such test coincides with its Pitman's AE, the power of the tests are also discussed.

In this study, we consider PCA for Gaussian observations X1, …, Xn with covariance Σ = ∑iλiPi in the ’effective rank’ setting with model complexity governed by r(Σ) ≔ tr(Σ)∕∥Σ∥. We prove a Berry-Essen type bound for a Wald Statistic of the spectral projector $\hat P_r$. This can be used to construct non-asymptotic goodness of fit tests and confidence ellipsoids for spectral projectors Pr. Using higher order pertubation theory we are able to show that our Theorem remains valid even when $\mathbf{r}(\Sigma) \gg \sqrt{n}$.

Time Invariant

The dependence structure between 756 prices for futures on crude oil and natural gas traded on NYMEX is analyzed  using  a combination of novel time-series and copula tools.  We model the log-returns on each commodity individually by Generalized Autoregressive Score models and account for dependence between them by fitting various copulas to corresponding  error terms. Our basic assumption is that the dependence structure may vary over time, but the ratio between the joint distribution of error terms and the product of marginal distributions (e.g., Sibuya's dependence function) remains the same, being time-invariant.  By performing conventional goodness-of-fit tests, we select the best copula, being member of the currently  introduced class of  Sibuya-type copulas.

This article considers goodness-of-fit tests for bivariate INAR and bivariate Poisson autoregression models. The test statistics are based on an L2-type distance between two estimators of the probability generating function of the observations: one being entirely nonparametric and the second one being semiparametric computed under the corresponding null hypothesis. The asymptotic distribution of the proposed tests statistics both under the null hypotheses as well as under alternatives is derived and consistency is proved. The case of testing bivariate generalized Poisson autoregression and extension of the methods to dimension higher than two are also discussed. The finite-sample performance of a parametric bootstrap version of the tests is illustrated via a series of Monte Carlo experiments. The article concludes with applications on real data sets and discussion.
