Abstract
In this paper we propose the use of phi-divergences as test statistics to verify simple hypotheses about a one-dimensional parametric diffusion process View the MathML source, from discrete observations {Xti,i=0,…,n} with ti=iΔn, i=0,1,…,n, under the asymptotic scheme Δn→0, nΔn→∞ and View the MathML source. The class of phi-divergences is wide and includes several special members like Kullback–Leibler, Rényi, power and α-divergences. We derive the asymptotic distribution of the test statistics based on the estimated phi-divergences. The asymptotic distribution depends on the regularity of the function phi and in general it differs from the standard χ2 distribution as in the i.i.d. case. Numerical analysis is used to show the small sample properties of the test statistics in terms of estimated level and power of the testFile | Dimensione | Formato | |
