Abstract: | This paper describes a Lagrange multiplier interpretation of LUF disturbance estimators and an associated means of constructing residuals and procedures for testing for certain kinds of misspecification. Together with a recent technique for partially ordering multivariate data, the methods are used to devise an F test for nonlinearity in some or all of the explanatory variables in multiple regression. Unlike several alternatives, the proposed test does not require all misspecified variables to be positively correlated. Power computations, and comparisons with other procedures, yield encouraging results. |
