Encompassing and Progression Testing in High-Dimensions
高维环境中的涵盖检验与递进检验
This paper introduces the Subseries-based Cauchy Combination Test (SCT), a novel procedure for testing encompassing relationships or model validity using identification conditions formulated as multiple moment restrictions. SCT applies to weakly or short-range-dependent data and eliminates the need to estimate high-dimensional covariance matrices. Unlike Wald- or J-type tests, it remains reliable in both low- and high-dimensional settings. The test is asymptotically unbiased…
