Abstract: Dominance relations and diagnostic tools based on Lorenz and Concentration curves in order to compare competing estimators of the regression function have recently been proposed. This approach turns out to be equivalent to forecast dominance when the estimators under consideration are auto-calibrated. A new characterization of auto-calibration is established, based on the graphs of Lorenz and Concentration curves. This result is exploited to propose an effective testing procedure for auto-calibration. A simulation study is conducted to evaluate its performances and its relevance for practice is demonstrated on an insurance data set.
