A corrected Clarke test for model selection and beyond
修正的 Clarke 检验及模型选择扩展
We introduce a large family of model selection tests based on the expectation of an arbitrary, possibly non-smooth, parametric criterion function of the data. The considered methodology is illustrated for several econometric problems, including linear and quantile regression. It covers the case of strictly locally non-nested models and some overlapping models. The asymptotic theory of the proposed test statistic is stated. A general exchangeable bootstrap scheme allows the…
