Data-Driven Tuning in Kernel Specification Tests: Selection Asymptotics, Validity, and Power
核设定检验的数据驱动调参:选择渐近理论、有效性与功效
We develop model checks for conditional moment restrictions whose tuning parameters, the kernel bandwidth and the regularization level, are selected by cross-validation. The tests regress the estimated residuals on the covariates via kernel ridge regression (KRR), yielding a coefficient function in a reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS) that vanishes under the null and is nonzero for any misspecification not annihilated by the Neyman projection. Our central contribution…
