Robust sign test for the unit root hypothesis of autoregression
M. V. Boldin Lomonosov Moscow State University, Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics
Abstract:
An $\operatorname{AR}(1)$-model is considered with autoregression observations that contain gross errors (contaminations)
with unknown arbitrary distribution. The unit root hypothesis for autoregression is tested.
A special sign test is proposed as an alternative to the least-square test (the latter test is not applicable in this setting).
The sign test is shown to be locally qualitatively robust in terms of the equicontinuity of the power.
Keywords:
hypotheses testing, autoregression, unit root, sign tests, contaminations, qualitative robustness.
