On Score-Functions and Goodness-of-Fit Tests for Stochastic Processes

摘要

The problems of the construction of asymptotically distribution free goodness-of-fit tests for two diffusion processes are considered. The null hypothesis is composite parametric. All tests are based on the score-function processes, where the unknown parameter is replaced by the maximum likelihood estimators. We show that a special change of time transforms the limit scorefunction processes into the Brownian bridge. This property allows us to construct asymptotically distribution-free tests for dynamical systems with small noise and ergodic diffusion processes. The proposed tests are in some sense universal. We discuss the possibilities of the construction of asymptotically distribution free tests for inhomogeneous Poisson processes and nonlinear AR time series.
