Testing for Serial Correlation in Least Squares Regression. III
最小二乘回归中的序列相关检验(三)
The paper considers a number of problems arising from the test of serial correlation based on the d statistic proposed earlier by the authors (Durbin & Watson, 1950, 1951). Methods of computing the exact distribution of d are investigated and the exact distribution is compared with six approximations to it for four sets of published data. It is found that approximations suggested by Theil and Nagar and by Hannan are too inaccurate for practical use but that the beta…
