Abstract

We investigated hypothesis testing in Seemingly Unrelated Regression (SUR) using Log Likelihood Ratio (LLR) test. The asymptotic distribution of this statistic is well documented in literature to have substantial inaccuracy by an order of magnitude leading to the rejection of too many true null hypotheses. Bartlett adjustment of Barndorff and Blaesild and Efron's bootstrap methods were considered to provide more accurate significance level to the distribution. Simulation results from the partitioned variance-covariance matrix showed that the lower triangular matrix performed better than the upper triangular matrix. The Bartlett method of Barndorff and Blaesild provided better significance value than the bootstrap method.

Ici, nous étudions des tests d'hypothèses dans une regression avec vraisemblance de non-correlation, basée le rapport du logarithme de la vraisemblance. La distribution asymptotique de la statistique utilisée est connue pour avoir une grande efficacité. Pour rémédier à cette situation, deux types dùajustement sont considerés : un base sur la méthode de Bartlett et un autre base sur la méthode de Barndorff et Blaesid. Une étude de simulation montre l'éfficacité des méthodes d'ajustement et la superiorité du second ajustement sur le premier.
