Testing for the Martingale Difference Hypothesis in Multivariate Time Series Models
多变量时间序列模型中的鞅差假设检验
This article proposes a general class of tests to examine whether the error term is a martingale difference sequence in a multivariate time series model with parametric conditional mean. These new tests are formed based on recently developed martingale difference divergence matrix (MDDM), and they provide formal tools to test the multivariate martingale difference hypothesis in the literature for the first time. Under suitable conditions, the asymptotic null distributions of…
