Tests for conditional ellipticity in multivariate GARCH models
多元 GARCH 模型的条件椭圆性检验
Tests are proposed for the assumption that the conditional distribution of a multivariate GARCH process is elliptic. These tests are of Kolmogorov–Smirnov and Cramér–von Mises-type and make use of the common geometry underlying the characteristic function of any spherically symmetric distribution. The asymptotic null distribution of the test statistics as well as the consistency of the tests is investigated under general conditions. It is shown that both the finite sample…
