In this paper we present two new tests for the parametric form of the variance function in difusion processes dXt = b(t;Xt)+ó(t;Xt)dWt: Our approach is based on two stochastic processes of the integrated volatility. We prove weak convergence of these processes to centered processes whose...

In this paper a new test for the parametric form of the variance function in the common nonparametric regression model is proposed which is applicable under very weak smoothness assumptions. The new test is based on an empirical process formed from pseudo residuals, for which weak convergence to...

In this paper, we propose a model-free bootstrap method for the empirical process under absolute regularity. More precisely, consistency of an adapted version of the so-called dependent wild bootstrap, that was introduced by Shao (2010) and is very easy to implement, is proved under minimal...

This paper attempts to provide a synthetic view of varied techniques available for per- forming inference on income distributions. Two main approaches can be distinguished: one in which the object of interest is some index of income inequality or poverty, the other based on notions of stochastic...
