Abstract:
|
We propose a method to estimate an unknown variance change point and propose two variations of the resulting statistic for robustness. Levene-type transformations are adopted for the purpose. The null hypothesis distributions of the proposed test statistics are obtained via Monte Carlo simulation. Empirical test sizes and powers are presented under the setting of symmetric, heavy-tailed, and skewed distributions in order to check robustness of the proposed statistics. We apply the proposed method to Dow-Jones Averages.
