In nortestARMA: Neyman Smooth Tests of Normality for the Errors of ARMA Models

Description

Test statistics are computed to check normality in autoregressive moving-average (ARMA) time series models, adopting the smooth test paradigm. The mean of the ARMA process can be assumed known or unknown. A data-driven order of the family of the BIC type is given.

Usage

nortestARMA(residuals, sig2hat, d = 2)

Arguments

residuals	Vector of residuals of a fitted ARMA(p,q) model.
sig2hat	Estimated variance of the i.i.d. errors of the ARMA(p,q) model.
d	Paramater used in the choice of the order of the Legendre polynomial.

Details

In the 2004 paper, the mean μ of the ARMA process is supposed to be known and thus should not be estimated. In that case, the residuals should be computed without estimation of the mean μ. Moreover, these residuals should not be centered before calling the nortestARMA function because there might be some asymptotic impact of centering the residuals (see Serfling (1980) page 73, case (iv)). In the 2016 paper, we considered that the mean μ is unknown. Thus in that case, the residuals should be computed taking into account the estimation of μ. Moreover, we have showed that there is no asymptotic impact of the centering of the residuals (see Yu (2007)). Nevertheless, in that case, centering the residuals could be a good idea for small sample sizes.

Value

List with the following components:

RKsdest	Values of the test statistics R_k, for k = 1, ..., 10 when only the standard deviation is estimated (mean is supposed known).
Koptsdest	Optimal value \hat{K} of K using a BIC type criterion involving the values of RKsdest, k=d, ..., D=10.
pvalsdest	p-value of the test, associated to RKsdest[Koptsdest].
RKsdmuest	Values of the test statistics R_k, for k = 1, ..., 10 for the new test (both the standard deviation and the mean are estimated).
Koptsdmuest	Optimal value \hat{K} of K using a BIC type criterion involving the values of RKsdmuest, k=d, ..., D=10.
pvalsdmuest	p-value for the new test, associated to RKsdmuest[Koptsdmuest].

# The residuals should not be centered.
nortestARMA(resfit.MA4, sig2fit.MA4, d = 2)

# Note: In Ducharme et al. (2004), the data were analyzed using the
#  G13DCF routine in NAG.
# This routine gave us slightly different results.
# We obtained the following values:
#  ITERATION NUMBER =     9
#  ESTIMATED CONDITION NUMBER OF HESSIAN MATRIX =    0.181E+01
#  NUMBER OF LIKELIHOOD EVALUATIONS MADE SO FAR =       82
#  VALUE OF LOG LIKELIHOOD FUNCTION = -0.68515E+03
#  NORM OF GRADIENT VECTOR =  0.12052E-03
#  MA PARAMETERS :  0.0715894141 -0.296819534 -0.149662304 -0.19482046
#  VARIANCE :  2.47466874
# For reproducibility purpose, the non centered residuals returned 
#  by this routine have been included in the current package in the 
# 'resid.temp' object. To obtain exactly the same results as in the 
#  original 2004 article, one can thus issue the following commands:
sig2NAG <- 2.47466874
nortestARMA(resid.temp, sig2NAG, d = 2)
