A method for an evaluation of the error between an unknown parameter and its estimator is developed. Its application enables us to preserve the asymptotic power of a constructed test. Testing problems in AR(1) and ARCH models are studied with a derivation of the asymptotic power function. Also the results are extended to AR(m) time series model.
This work is an extension in Arch models of the theorem of S.Y. Hwang and I.V. Basawa Hwang and Basawa (2001) which was used before in nonlinear time series contiguous to AR(1) processes. Our results are established under some general assumptions and stationarity and ergodicity conditions. Local asymptotic normality (LAN) for the log likelihood ratio was established.An optimal test was constructed when the parameter is assumed known. Also the optimality of our test was proved when the parameter is unspecified. The method is based on the introducing of a new estimator.
In the present paper we propose a new estimator of entropy based on smooth estimators of quantile density. The consistency and asymptotic distribution of the proposed estimates are obtained. As a consequence, a new test of normality is proposed. A small power comparison is provided. A simulation study for the comparison, in terms of mean squared error, of all estimators under study is performed.
The main purpose of this paper is to provide an asymptotically optimal test. The proposed statistic is of Neyman-Pearson-type when the parameters are estimated with a particular kind of estimators. It is shown that the proposed estimators enable us to achieve this end. Two particular cases, AR(1) and ARCH models were studied and the asymptotic power function was derived.
