Abstract

We study some general methods for testing the goodness-of-fit of a general nonstationary and absolutely regular nonlinear time series model. These testing methods are based on some marked empirical processes that we show to converge in distribution to a zero-mean Gaussian process with respect to the Skorohod topology. We investigate the behavior of this process under fixed alternatives and under a sequence of local alternatives. Our results are applied to testing a general class of nonlinear semiparametric time series models. A simulation experiment shows that the Cramér–von Mises test studied behaves well on the examples considered.
