We provide a methodology for testing a polynomial model hypothesis by extending the approach and results of Baek, Cho, and Phillips (2015; Journal of Econometrics; BCP) that tests for neglected nonlinearity using power transforms of regressors against arbitrary nonlinearity. We examine and...

We develop a method of testing linearity using power transforms of regressors, allowing for stationary processes and time trends. The linear model is a simplifying hypothesis that derives from the power transform model in three different ways, each producing its own identification problem. We...

Sharpe style regression has become a widespread analytic tool in the financial community. Thestyle regression allows one to investigate such interesting issues as style composition, style sensitivity, andstyle change over time. All previous methods to obtain the distribution and confidence...
