This function is equipped with two types of specification-tests:
The first specification-tests is the Hausman-type test
proposed by Bai (2009), which is computed if obj1
as well
as obj2
are specified by 'Eup
'-objects. In this case
the model given to the arguments obj1
and obj2
are
compared with each other. Note that this test assumes that the
(unobserved) true factor dimension is lower or equal to 2; see
Section 9 in Bai (2009) for more details.
Given the assumption that there is only one unobserved common factor:
Null-Hypothesis: 'The unobserved common factor is a
classical individual
or time
effect'.
Alternative-Hypothesis: 'The unobserved common factor is an arbitrary process'.
Given the assumption that there are two unobserved common factors:
Null-Hypothesis: 'The two unobserved common factors are classical
twoways
effects'.
Alternative-Hypothesis: 'The two unobserved common factors are arbitrary processes'.
The second specification-test tests the existence of an additional
factor structure beyond a classical additive effects model; as suggested
in Kneip, Sickles, and Song (2012), which is applied if only
obj1
is specified and obj2
is left unspecified. This
test can be used for 'Eup
'-objects as well as for
'KSS
'-objects.
Null-Hypothesis: 'There are no unobserved common factors
beyond the classical individual
, time
, or
twoways
effects'.
Alternative-Hypothesis: 'There are additional unobserved common factors'.

## For the model of Bai (2009):
Eup.obj <- Eup(d.l.Consumption ~ -1 + d.l.Price + d.l.Income,
additive.effects = "twoways")
## Test:
checkSpecif(Eup.obj, level = 0.01)
## For the model of Kneip, Sickles, and Song (2012):
KSS.obj <- KSS(l.Consumption ~ -1 + l.Price + l.Income,
additive.effects = "twoways")
## Test:
checkSpecif(KSS.obj, level = 0.01)
