Andrews Tabulated Critical Values

Description

The data is taken from Table 1 of (Andrews 2003), which provides asymptotic critical values for sup Wald, LM, and LR tests for parameter instability. Critical values are given for degrees of freedom \(p=1,\dots,20\). They can be used as asymptotic critical values for the following tests:

Provided pb = 1- pa.

Usage

ACValues

Format

ACValues

A matrix with 13 rows and 62 columns. The first two columns contain the parameters, whereas the remaining 60 columns contain 3 critical values (at level 10%, 5%, and 1%) for each value of the parameter \(p\):

pi

\(\pi_0\) in the paper, corresponds to pa.

lambda

\(\lambda\) in the paper, not relevant here.

1-90

\(p=1\), critical level 10%.

1-95

\(p=1\), critical level 5%.

1-99

\(p=1\), critical level 1%.

...

20-90

\(p=20\), critical level 10%.

20-95

\(p=20\), critical level 5%.

20-99

\(p=20\), critical level 1%.

Note that \(p\) are the degrees of freedom and correspond to the total number of tested parameter in the above tests.

Fitting methods

method has the following options:

L-BFGS-B

Calls the corresponding method of optim. Linear ergodicity constraints are imposed.

solnp

Calls the function solnp. It is a nonlinear optimization using augmented Lagrange method with linear and nonlinear inequality bounds. This allows to impose all the ergodicity constraints so that in theory it always return an ergodic solution. In practice the solution should be checked since this is a local solver and there is no guarantee that the minimum has been reached.

lbfgsb3c

Calls the function lbfgsb3c in package lbfgsb3c. Improved version of the L-BFGS-B in optim.

robust

Robust M-estimator of Ferrari and La Vecchia (Ferrari and La-Vecchia 2011). Based on the L-BFGS-B in optim and an additional iterative re-weighted least squares step to estimate the robust weights. Uses the tuning parameters alpha and qu. Robust standard errors are derived from the sandwich estimator of the variance/covariance matrix of the estimates. The IRLS step can be controlled through the parameters maxiter (maximum number of iterations) and tol (target tolerance). These can be passed using irls.control.

trimmed

Experimental: Estimator based on trimming the sample using the tuning parameters qu (lower and upper quantile).

Where possible, the conditions for ergodicity and invertibility are imposed to the optimization routines but there is no guarantee that the solution will be ergodic and invertible so that it is advisable to check the fitted parameters.

Details

Fits the following two-regime TARMA process with optional components: linear AR part, seasonal MA and covariates.
\[X_{t} = \phi_{0} + \sum_{h \in I} \phi_{h} X_{t-h} + \sum_{l=1}^Q \Theta_{l} \epsilon_{t-ls} + \sum_{j=1}^q \theta_{j} \epsilon_{t-j} + \sum_{k=1}^K \delta_{k} Z_{k} + \epsilon_{t} + \left\lbrace \begin{array}{ll} \phi_{1,0} + \sum_{i \in I_1} \phi_{1,i} X_{t-i} & \mathrm{if } X_{t-d} \leq \mathrm{thd} \\ &\\ \phi_{2,0} + \sum_{i \in I_2} \phi_{2,i} X_{t-i} & \mathrm{if } X_{t-d} > \mathrm{thd} \end{array} \right. \]

ARMA versus TARMA (and AR versus TAR) supLM tests for nonlinearity

Description

Heteroskedasticity robust supremum Lagrange Multiplier tests for a ARMA specification versus a TARMA specification. Includes the AR versus TAR test.

Usage

TARMA.test(
  x,
  pa = 0.25,
  pb = 0.75,
  ar.ord,
  ma.ord,
  ma.fixed = TRUE,
  d,
  thd.range,
  method = "CSS-ML",
  ...
)

Arguments

x

A univariate time series, either a ts or zoo object.
pa

Real number in [0,1]. Sets the lower limit for the threshold search to the 100*pa-th sample percentile. The default is 0.25
pb

Real number in [0,1]. Sets the upper limit for the threshold search to the 100*pb-th sample percentile. The default is 0.75
ar.ord

Order of the AR part.
ma.ord

Order of the MA part.
ma.fixed

Logical. Only applies to testing ARMA vs TARMA. If TRUE computes the test where only the AR parameters are tested, see (Goracci et al. 2021) for details.
d

Delay parameter. Defaults to 1.
thd.range

Vector of optional user defined threshold range. If missing then pa and pb are used.
method

...

Additional arguments to be passed to arima.

Details

Implements an asymptotic supremum Lagrange Multiplier test to test an ARMA specification versus a TARMA specification. Both the non-robust supLM and the robust supLMh statistics are returned. If ma.fixed=TRUE (the default), the AR parameters are tested whereas the MA parameters are fixed. If ma.fixed=FALSE both the AR and the MA parameters are tested. This is an asymptotic test and the value of the test statistic has to be compared with the critical values tabulated in (Goracci et al. 2021) and (Andrews 2003). These are automatically computed and printed by print.TARMAtest. If ma.ord=0 then the AR versus TAR test is used. Note that when method='CSS', this is equivalent to TAR.test, which uses least squares.

Value

statistic

The value of the supLM statistic and its robust version supLMh.

parameter

A named vector: threshold is the value that maximizes the Lagrange Multiplier values.

fit.ARMA

The null model: ARMA fit over x.

sigma2

Estimated innovation variance from the ARMA fit.

data.name

A character string giving the name of the data.

prop

Proportion of values of the series that fall in the lower regime.

p.value

method

Details

An object of class TARMAtest with components:

statistic

The value of the supLM statistic.

parameter

A named vector: threshold is the value that maximises the Lagrange Multiplier values.

test.v

Vector of values of the LM statistic for each threshold given in thd.range.

thd.range

Range of values of the threshold.

fit.ARMA

The null model: IMA(1) fit over x.

sigma2

Estimated innovation variance from the IMA fit.

data.name

A character string giving the name of the data.

p.value

The bootstrap p-value of the test.

method

A character string indicating the type of test performed.

d

The delay parameter.

pa

Lower threshold quantile.

Tb

The bootstrap null distribution.

Examples

## a TARMA(1,1,1,1) 
set.seed(123)
x1    <- TARMA.sim(n=100, phi1=c(0.5,-0.5), phi2=c(0.0,0.8), theta1=0.5, theta2=0.5, d=1, thd=0.2)
TARMAur.test.B(x1, B=100) # B=100 for speedup


## a IMA(1,1)
x2   <- arima.sim(n=100, model=list(order = c(0,1,1),ma=0.6))
TARMAur.test.B(x2, B=100) # B=100 for speedup
