Marrten -- Thanks for your quick response to my
question.
Here are some more details of the P test. Davidson and
Mackinnon (1981) suggest that if you have 2 different
model specifications that you can fit the data. One
way to choose between non-nested non-linear models is
to use Davidson and Mackinnon P test by estimating the
following function:
y(t) = (1 - alpha)f(t) + alpha*ghat(t) + FhatBhat +
u(t)
f(t) and g(t) are the null and alternative models;
ghat(t) is the fitted values from fitting the model on
y
FhatBhat is a vector containing the derivatives of f
with respect to B evaluated at Bhat
We can then test if the null hypothesis that alpha is
zero (model f(t) is the better model). t-test can be
used to test this hypothesis.
I hope these details should be helpful for others to
understand the analysis problem I am looking at.
Thanks for any hints or suggestions that you can
provide.
