An Empirical Assessment of the Performance of Variance Components Tests under Contaminated Error Distributions with Application to Random-Intercept Regression Models [PDF]

open access: yesThe Egyptian Statistical Journal, 2020
Testing zero variance components is a common practice under random-intercept models. Various test exist to check the need for random effects in such models.

ON THE ASYMPTOTIC POWER OF THE VARIANCE RATIO TEST [PDF]

open access: yesEconometric Theory, 2003
The variance-ratio (VR) test statistic, which is based on k-period differences of the data, is commonly used in empirical finance and economics to test the random walk hypothesis. We obtain the asymptotic power function of the VR test statistic when the differencing period k is increasing with the sample size n such that k/n → δ > 0.

VARIANCE‐RATIO TESTS OF RANDOM WALK: AN OVERVIEW [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Economic Surveys, 2009
Abstract This paper reviews the recent developments in the field of the variance‐ratio (VR) tests of the random walk and martingale hypothesis. In particular, we present the conventional individual and multiple VR tests as well as their improved modifications based on power‐transformed statistics, rank and sign tests, subsampling and bootstrap methods,

How to use analysis of variance correctly——the tests of homogeneity of variance and SAS implementation

open access: yesSichuan jingshen weisheng, 2022
The purpose of the paper was to introduce the test for homoscedasticity and the SAS implementation. The test of homogeneity of variance could be divided into the following three categories, ①analysis of variance directly based on comparison of variances,
