This paper proposes and analyses a measure of distance for the unit root hypothesis tested against stochastic stationarity. It applies over a family of distributions, for any sample size, for any specification of deterministic components and under additional autocorrelation, here parameterised...

The maximal invariant forms the basis of a well established theory on hypothesis testing on the covariance structure in linear regression, see Lehman (1997). This paper examines the geometry of the maximal invariant. In particular it derives explicit expressions for both Fisher information and...

This paper generalizes the goodness of fit tests of Claeskens and Hjort (2004) and Marsh (2006) to the case where the hypothesis specifies only family of distributions. Data driven versions of these tests are based upon the Akaike and Bayesian selection criteria. The asymptotic distributions of...
