This paper considers a nonparametric time series regression model with a nonstationary regressor. We construct a nonparametric test for whether the regression is of a known parametric form indexed by a vector of unknown parameters. We establish the asymptotic distribution of the proposed test...

This paper reconsiders King's [12] locally optimal test procedure for first-order moving average disturbances in the linear regression model. It recommends two tests, one for problems involving positively correlated disturbances and one for negatively correlated disturbances. Both tests are most...

Although originally designed to detect AR(1) disturbances in the linear-regression model, the Durbin-Watson test is known to have good power against other forms of disturbance behavior. In this paper, we identify disturbance processes involving any number of parameters against which the...
