Heteroscedasticity Testing for Regression Models: A Dimension Reduction-based Model Adaptive

Xuehu Zhu, Fei Chen, Xu Guo +1

Heteroscedasticity testing is of importance in regression analysis. Existing local smoothing tests suffer severely from curse of dimensionality even when the number of covariates i…

Lumpings of Algebraic Markov Chains arise from Subquotients

C. Y. Amy Pang

A function on the state space of a Markov chain is a "lumping" if observing only the function values gives a Markov chain. We give very general conditions for lumpings of a large c…
