A simple representation of the Bera-Jarque-Lee test for probit models

  • Wilde, Joachim

Abstract

The paper presents an easy way to implement the Bera-Jarque-Lee test for probit models. Furthermore, the simple representation is used to compare the test of normality with the RESET-type test proposed by Papke and Wooldridge [Papke, L.E., Wooldridge, J.M., 1996, Econometric methods for fractional response variables with an application to 401 (k) plan participation rates, Journal of Applied Econometrics 11, 619-632].
