Properties of Sequences of Partial Sums of Polynomial Regression Residuals with Applications to Tests for Change of Regression at Unknown Times

Abstract

Limit processes are obtained for the sequences of partial sums of polynomial regression residuals. Properties of linear and quadratic functionals on the sequences are discussed. Distribution theory for Cramer-von Mises type functionals is obtained. An indication is given of the relevance of these results to the problem of testing for change of regression at unknown times.
