This paper proposes a class of lack-of-fit tests for checking the adequacy of a presumed parametric form of the regression function in Tobit regression models. This class of tests is a weighted adaptation of the Zheng’s test for fitting a parametric regression model. The asymptotic null...

The problem of fitting a parametric model in Tobit errors-in-variables regression models is discussed in this paper. The proposed test is based on the supremum of the Khmaladze type transformation of a certain partial sum process of calibrated residuals. This framework covers the usual...
