In this paper, we consider the problem of testing for parameter changes in time series models based on a cusum test. Although the test procedure is well established for the mean and variance in time series models, a general parameter case has not been discussed in the literature. Therefore, here we develop a cusum test for parameter change in a more general framework. As an example, we consider the change of the parameters in a random coeefficient autoregressive (1) model and that of the autocovariances of a linear process. Simulation results are reported for illustration. Copyright 2003 Board of the Foundation of the Scandinavian Journal of Statistics..
In this paper, we consider the problem of testing for a parameter change in stochastic processes. In performing a test, we employ the cusum test considered in Lee et al. (Scand. J. Statist. 30 (2003) 651). The cusum test is based on the conditional least-squares estimator introduced by Klimko and Nelson (Ann. Statist. 6 (1978) 629). Special attention is paid to the nonlinear autoregressive processes including TAR and ARCH processes. It is shown that under regularity conditions, the test statistic behaves asymptotically the same as the sup of the squares of independent standard Brownian bridges. Simulation results as to ARCH(1) processes and an example of real data analysis are provided for illustration.
