The martingale Z-test
鞅 Z 检验
We describe a statistical test for association of two autocorrelated time series, one of which generated randomly at each time point from a known but possibly history-dependent distribution. The null hypothesis is that at each time point, the two variables are independent, conditional on history until that time point. We define a test statistic that is a martingale under the null hypothesis and describe an asymptotic test for it based on the martingale central limit theorem.…
