Abstract

Let us consider that the variance function in regression model has a discontinuity/change point at unknown location. Yu and Jones (2004) proposed the local polynomial fit to estimate the log-variance function which break the positivity of the variance. Using the local polynomial fit, Huh (2008) estimate the discontinuity point of the log-variance function. We propose a test for the existence of a discontinuity point in the log-variance function with the estimated jump size in Huh (2008). The proposed method is based on the asymptotic distribution of the estimated jump size. Numerical works demonstrate the performance of the method.

회귀모형의 분산함수가 알려져 있지 않은 한 점에서 불연속이라 가정하자. Yu와 Jones (2004)는 음이 아닌 값을 취하는 분산함수를 실수 값을 취하도록 하기 위하여 로그 변환하였고, 변환된 로그분산함수를 국소다항적합으로 추정하였다. 로그분산함수의 국소다항적합을 이용하여, Huh (2008)는 분산함수의 불연속점의 추정하는 대신 로그분산함수의 불연속점을 추정하였다. 본 연구는 Huh의 점프의 크기 추정량의 점근분포를 이용하여 로그분산함수의 불연속점의 존재여부에 대한 가설검정을 제안하고, 제안한 방법에 대한 모의실험 결과를 제시하고자 한다.
