2 . INTRODUCTION Tesig for serial depedece or lack hereof) coiues o be a maor ieres of ime series aalysis. May saisical ifereces, icludig may asympoic resuls, rely o he idepede ad ideically disribued iid) assumpio o raw daa or errors. Therefore i is impora o develop some speci caio ess for iid. So far here have bee may researches o esig iid, bu mos of hem have bee focused o raw daa bu o o uobservable geeralized errors, which hampers he applicaio of hese exisig procedures o more geeral cases; see he examples below. I his paper, we propose ess for serial idepedece of geeralized errors, hereby cosiderably broadeig he scope of possible applicaios of he exisig mehods. Before we prese our moivaioal examples, le us iroduce some geeral oaios. Suppose ha we observe daa fy ; g =; where Y is some real-valued depede variable ad may coai lagged values of Y ad curre ad lagged values of oher exogeous variables, say : Furhermore, 0 is some ukow parameer i a compac se R p. Example. Our leadig moivaioal example is he codiioal mea ad variace model, Y = ; 0 ) + ; 0 )u ; where ; 0 ) = E[Y ] ad 2 ; 0 ) = V ar[y ] almos surely a.s.). This ype of models, wih he popular ARMA-GARCH model as a special case, are widely used i acial applicaios, for example, i modelig sock reurs, erm srucure of ieres raes, ec. I hese models, oe usually makes he iid assumpio for he sadardized errors u = u 0 ) = Y ; 0 ) : ; 0 ) The iid assumpio o u is a crucial assumpio for he validiy of ifereces abou he parameer 0 ad for speci caio ess of he parameric mea ad variace. I paricular, he iid assumpio is a ecessary codiio for he Value a Risk V ar) model a level o be expressed as V ar = ; 0 ) + ; 0 )Fu ); where Fu ) is he quaile fucio of u : V ar models play a impora role i he assessme of marke risk a commercial baks ad oher acial isiuios. Example 2. A Codiioal) Goodess-of-Fi GOF) es problem arises whe oe assumes ha Y follows a cerai codiioal parameric disribuio G; ; 0 ): Oe way o cosruc a es Aoher impora assumpio is he idepedece bewee u ad ; which implies he iid of u ; as fu ; u 2; :::g are fucios of : I some cases, such as he saioary ad iverible ARMA models, hey are equivale. 2

3 is o use he well-kow fac ha for a coiuous ad correcly speci ed G; he geeralized error u = u 0 ) = GY ; ; 0 ) follows a iid U[0; ] disribuio. Bai 2003) uses his idea o es he codiioal disribuios of dyamic models, alhough his es is ailored oly for he U[0; ] disribued par, o for he iid par. Hog ad Li 2005) also use his idea o cosruc a speci caio es for he erm srucure of ieres raes. Alog hese lies, our proposed es for iid of geeralized errors ca be used for codiioal Goodess-of-Fi purpose. Moivaed by he above examples, i his paper we wa o es H 0 : fu 0 )g 2 is a sequece of iid r.v, for some 0 2 R p ; ) where u 0 ) HY ; ; 0 ) is a geeralized error, give by a kow measurable rasformaio H ad a ukow parameer 0 i R p : The aleraive hypohesis is he egaio of he ull ). Noice ha he ull hypohesis ) is composie, sice we do o kow 0. Give a p -cosise esimaor of 0 ; say b ; we ca cosruc geeralized residuals bu = u b ); ad base our es o bu, bu he, he ull limi disribuio of he es will geerally lose he uisace parameerfree propery, which is a ee i empirical process heory whe parameers are esimaed, see Durbi 973). To circumve his problem, hree mai soluios have bee proposed. Oe is usig marigale rasformaio due o Khamaladze 98)) o ge asympoically disribuio-free es, see, e.g., Bai 2003) i a codiioal GOF seup. Aoher approach is usig boosrap o overcome he problem of he daa-depede asympoic disribuios, see Corradi ad Swaso 2003) or Hidalgo ad a aroi 2007) i codiioal GOF seups. The oher is he smoohig mehod, which ivolves badwidh selecios, see Hog ad Lee 2003) i a seup similar o Example. I his paper, we propose a ew mehod o solve he aforemeioed problem i a more geeral seup ha he exisig oes. We cosider Hoe dig-blum-kiefer-rosebla-ype empirical process applied o residuals bu a di ere lags, ad esablish a uiform expasio of he process, hereby derivig a explici expressio for he esimaio e ec i a geeral seup. The proposed ess will he be smooh ess based o orhoormal polyomials i he spiri of Neyma 937), coupled wih daa-drive mehod as i Kalleberg ad Ledwia 999). We choose he compoes i he smooh es i such a way ha he esimaio e ec is aihilaed ad asympoically disribuio-free ess are obaied. Our proposed ess have a wide variey of applicaios. Whe applied o esig serial idepedece of errors i locaio-scale models, our es is relaed o Camero ad Trivedi 993), ye a compleme o heir ess as ours ca deal wih he esimaio e ec. As a aleraive o Hog ad Lee 2003), our es does o require selecios of weighig fucios ad badwidh, ad is simple o impleme, ye sill powerful. Whe applied o codiioal GOF, our es is closely relaed o 3

4 Boemps ad Meddahi 2005, 2007), who use a GMM approach coupled wih orhoormal polyomials o rea he parameer esimaio uceraiy problem, bu we are usig a oally di ere approach o heirs. As a resul, our ess ca be applied o more geeral codiioal disribuios ha he Pearso family, for example skewed- Hase 994)), o-ceral Havey ad Siddique 999)), ec. Moreover, our Neyma-ype smooh es does o require a esimae of he variace of he momes as GMM does. Also worh of meioig are some applicaios of our uiform expasio i Secio 2. Whe applied o oliear regressio models wih heerogeeous errors, i exeds he digs i Delgado ad Mora 2000). Whe applied o he Box-Lug-Pierce Tes, i gives a expressio for he parameer esimaio e ec. The res of he paper is orgaized as follows: i Secio 2 we esablish a uiform expasio of he Hoe dig-blum-kiefer-rosebla-ype empirical process applied o residuals ad show some applicaios. I Secio 3 we cosruc Neyma-ype smooh ess for he idepedece of geeralized errors robus o he parameer esimaio uceraiy i a geeral seup. I Secio 4 we apply he geeral heory o our moivaioal examples. I Secio 5 we do some Moe Carlo simulaios o sudy he performace of our proposed ess, ad he apply he ess o some real daa. I Secio 6 we coclude ad sugges some direcios for fuure research. All he proofs are i he appedix. 2. THE GENERAL THEORY A Asympoic Uiform Expasio I he sequel, we simplify he oaios as follows: u = u 0 ) ad bu = u b ); where b is a p -cosise esimaor for 0 : Furhermore, le F ad F x; y) := Pru x; u y) deoe he margial ad oi disribuio fucios of u ; u u ; ad le IA) be he idicaor fucio for he se A. ); respecively; le f be he desiy fucio of Sice we wa o es he depedece of he geeralized errors u, we sar wih he followig depedece measure x; y) = Cov[Iu x); Iu y)] = F x; y) F x)f y) which is proposed by Hoe dig 948). Ulike correlaio ha oly measures liear depedece, x; y) capures all ypes of pairwise depedecies. The sample couerpar of x; y) based o a sample fu g = is x; y) = X Iu x)iu y) 8 < ) 2 : 9 8 X = < Iu x) ; : 9 X = Iu y) ; 4

Alog he same lie, Hog 2000) proposed a geeralized specral es for serial idepedece of saioary ime series. However, i our prese coex fu g = is uobservable as 0 is ukow. The we subsiue bu for u i ad ge b x; y) = X Ibu x)ibu y) 8 < ) 2 : 9 8 X = < Ibu x) ; : 9 X = Ibu y) ; ; bu he asympoic disribuio of b x; y) is geerally di ere o ha of x; y). heorem gives a explici expressio for he di erece uder he followig codiios: The ex Assumpio A: sup z;z 2; Fz;z2) z i < ad supz;z 2; 2 F z ;z 2) z iz k < ; i; k = ; 2. Assumpio A2: P = = o P ): Assumpio A3: p b 0 ) = O p ). Theorem Uder Assumpios A-A3 ad he ull hypohesis ), we have sup x;y)2r 2 p [b x; y) x; y)] p b 0 ) 0 E x; y) = o p ) where F 0 ; x) E x; y) := E [Iu y) F y)] ; F ; x) := Pr[u ) x ] 2) Remark. Due o he presece of his addiioal erm p b 0 ) 0 E x; y); wha we call esimaio e ec, b x; y) does o have he same asympoic disribuio as x; y) i geeral; herefore, ulike ess based o x; y); ess based o b x; y) are o loger asympoic disribuio-free. The above heorem gives us a explici expressio for he esimaio e ec i a very geeral seig, which has may ice applicaios as show i he followig examples. Example. Coiued) Locaio-Scale Models: Y = ; 0 ) + ; 0 )u : 5

Suppose Y = X ; 0 )+X ; 0 )u ; where he exogeous covariaes X are idepede over, he i is easy o see ha i his case E x; y) = 0. By Theorem, sup x;y)2r 2 Therefore, ess for idepedece of u p [b x; y) x; y)] = o p ): based o b x; y); such as he Cramer-vo Mises ad Kolmogorov-Smirov ype of ess, Hog s 2000) geeralized specral ess, have he same asympoic disribuio as hose based o x; y): To he bes of our kowledge his resul is ew i he lieraure ad exeds he digs i Delgado ad Mora 2000), who proved a similar resul for he liear regressio models Y = X u wih xed regressors.

Oe may es he iid assumpio o u usig he es proposed by Box ad Pierce 970) ad Lug ad Box 978) mx BLP m) = + 2) ) b 2 ); where b) is he sample auocorrelaio fucio of fbu g =; bu = Y ;b ) ; b : ) Bu oe eeds o oice ha due o he parameer esimae errors i b ; BLP m) does o have a 2 limi disribuio for a xed m. As a maer of fac, here b) = R xydb x; y); where b x; y) is de ed i he previous subsecio, usig he uiform expasio i Theorem, oe has p b) = C + p b 0 ) 0 xyde x; y) + o p ); where C = p R xyd x; y) = p = u u ) 3=2 u! u! has a sadard ormal ull limi disribuio. Calculae E x; y) give i 2) ad plug i io he above display, oe ges p b) = C + p b 0 ) 0 E[ u u ] + o p ); where u = u) =0 : Therefore uder H 0 ; BLP m) = mx fc + p b 0 ) 0 E[ u u ]g 2 + o p ): = 6

Example 2. Coiued) Codiioal Goodess-of-Fi: Oe way o es ha Y follows a coiuous codiioal disribuio G; ; 0 ) is o es he followig equivale hypohesis H 0 : u = u 0 ) = GY ; ; 0 ) is iid U[0; ] disribued. To es u beig boh iid ad U[0; ] disribued, we accordigly adus he sample depedece measure o x; y) = X Iu x)iu y) xy The correspodig versio of Theorem gives us F 0 ; y) E x; y) = E x + F 0 ; x) Iu y) ; where F0;x) = gg x; ; 0 ); ; 0 ) G x; ; 0) ; g; ; 0 ) is he desiy fucio correspodig o G; ; 0 ). To summarize his secio, ess for idepedece of geeralized errors u 0 ) based o b x; y) are geerally o asympoically disribuio-free due o he esimaio error i b. Theorem gives us a explici expressio for he esimaio e ec. Alhough we ca d some special cases where he esimaio e ec vaishes, he esimaio e ec does exis i geeral. For hese geeral cases how o elimiae he esimaio e ec ad ge asympoic disribuio-free ess is he problem we ackle i he ex secio. 3. DATA-DRIVEN SMOOTH TESTS I his secio, we iroduce ess for idepedece of geeralized errors immue o he esimaio e ec. The proposed ess are smooh ess i he spiri of Neyma 937), coupled wih daa-drive mehod as i Kalleberg ad Ledwia 999). 7

If he desiy fucio of u ; f is kow ad belogs o he Pearso family, we ca easily d such basis fb k g as show i Boemps ad Meddahi 2007). Oherwise, le fp k g be ay orhoormal basis for L 2 [0; ]); for example, he Legedre polyomials, he b k = p k F ) will be a orhoormal basis for L 2 F ). Nex, le us sudy he quaiy covb l u ); b m u )) i deail. Noice ha covb l u ); b m u )) = b l x)b m y)d[f x; y) F x)f y)] = b l x)b m y)d x; y); where F, F ad x; y) are de ed i Secio 2.

Sice fu g is o available i geeral, we cosider C b lm isead. From Theorem we obai bc lm = C lm + p b 0 ) 0 b l x)b m y)de x; y) + o p ): 8

The quesio he arises how o d orhoormal bases fb k g saisfyig Codiio E. Oe way o do his is usig Gram-Schmid mehod, which ca be doe hrough simple recursive liear regressios. We will show he deailed procedure i he ex secio, bu here are a couple of problems we wa o poi ou here.

The ex heorem gives us he ull limi disribuio of T JLM : Theorem 2 Uder Assumpios A-A3, Codiio E ad he ull hypohesis ), we have T JLM! d 2 JLM); Proof: Codiio E implies C b lm has he same asympoic disribuio as C lm ; ad he laer has a idepede sadard ormal limi disribuio over l; m; s by Lemma. Now le us ge back o he problem of how may bases ad lags should be used. This is a model selecio problem, ad i should be deermied by he daa.
