Mixed LR-$C(α)$-type tests for irregular hypotheses, general criterion functions and misspecified models
适用于非正规假设、一般准则函数与模型误设的混合 LR–C(α) 型检验
This paper introduces a likelihood ratio (LR)-type test that possesses the robustness properties of \(C(α)\)-type procedures in an extremum estimation setting. The test statistic is constructed by applying separate adjustments to the restricted and unrestricted criterion functions, and is shown to be asymptotically pivotal under minimal conditions. It features two main robustness properties. First, unlike standard LR-type statistics, its null asymptotic distribution remains…
