Adaptive testing using data-driven method selecting smoothing parameters

Luya Wang

Economics Letters, 2022, vol. 215, issue C

Abstract: We consider the problem of selecting the smoothing parameter by a data-driven method in adaptive testing of a parametric model against a nonparametric alternative model. Simulations show that our proposed procedure works well and outperforms existing approaches. We discuss extensions of our method to more general model specification testing problems including testing a parametric quantile function and testing nonparametric significance.
