CONSISTENT SPECIFICATION TESTING UNDER SPATIAL DEPENDENCE
空间依赖下的一致模型设定检验
We propose a series-based nonparametric specification test for a regression function when data are spatially dependent, the “space” being of a general economic or social nature. Dependence can be parametric, parametric with increasing dimension, semiparametric or any combination thereof, thus covering a vast variety of settings. These include spatial error models of varying types and levels of complexity. Under a new smooth spatial dependence condition, our test statistic is…
