In this paper, we consider the panel data regression model in which the disturbances have nested error component. We derive a Lagrange Multiplier(LM) test which is jointly testing for the presence of random individual effects and nested effects under the normality assumption of the disturbances. This test extends the earlier work of Breusch and Pagan(1980) and Baltagi and Li(1991). Further, it is shown that this LM test has the same asymptotic distribution without normality assumption of the disturbances.

A chi-squared test of multivariate normality is suggested which is mainly focused on detecting deviations from elliptical symmetry. This test uses Mahalanobis distances of observations to have some power for deviations from multivariate normality. We derive the limiting distribution of the test statistic by a conditional limit theorem. A simulation study is conducted to study the accuracy of the limiting distribution in finite samples. Finally, we compare the power of our method with those of other popular tests of multivariate normality under two non-normal distributions.

A robust test is proposed for the problem of testing the parallelism of several regression lines against ordered alternatives. The proposed test statistic is based on a linear combination of one-step pairwise GM-estimators. We compare the performance of the proposed test with that of the other tests through a Monte Carlo simulation. The results of the simulation study show that the proposed test has stable levels, good empirical powers in various circumstances, and particularly higher empirical powers under the presence of extreme outliers or leverage points.

In this paper, we deal with the problem of deciding the length of data for estimating the parameters in geometric Brownian motion. As an approach to this problem, we consider the change point test and introduce simple test statistic based on the cumulative sum of squares test (cusum test). A real data analysis is performed for illustration.

We provide a simple chi-squared test of multivariate normality based on rectangular cells on the spherical data. This test is simple since it is a direct extension of the univariate chi-squared test to multivariate case and the expected cell counts are easily computed. We derive the limiting distribution of the chi-squared statistic via the conditional limit theorems. We study the accuracy in finite samples of the limiting distribution and then compare the poser of our test with those of other popular tests in an application to a real data.

In this paper a hypotheses test procedure based on the least absolute deviation estimators for the unknown parameters in nonlinear regression models is investigated. The asymptotic distribution of the proposed likelihood ratio test statistic are established voth under the null hypotheses and a sequence of local alternative hypotheses. The asymptotic relative efficiency of the proposed test with classical test based on the least squares estimator is also discussed.

A test is suggested for detecting deviations from both multivariate normality and independence. This test can be used for assessing the normality and independence of univariate time series residuals. We derive the limiting distribution of the test statistic and a simulation study is conducted to study the accuracy of the limiting distribution in finite samples. Finally, we apply our method to a real data of time series.

In this paper, testing exponentiality against new better than used in convex average and denote by (NBUCA), or its dual (NWUCA) is investigated through the U-test. The percentiles of these tests are tabulated for samples sizes n = 5(1)40. The power estimates of the test are simulated for some commonly used distributions in reliability. Pitman's asymptotic efficiency of the test is calculated and compared. Data of 40 patients suffering from blood cancer disease (Leukemia) is considered as a practical application of the proposed test in the medical sciences.

A nonparametric procedure for testing exponentially against used better than aged in expectation (UBAE) class of life distributions is presented. We construct a test statistics based on scaled total time on test (TTT)-transformation, to test exponentiality against UBAE class of life distributions. The distribution of the statistic is investigated via simulation. Practical applications of the proposed test are presented.
