Model Confidence Set Test

Description

Implements the Model Confidence Set Test procedure of Hansen, Lunde and

Usage

mcsTest(losses, alpha, nboot = 100, nblock = 1, boot = c("stationary", "block"))

Arguments

losses

A matrix of losses from competing models.

alpha

nboot

The number of bootstrap replications.

nblock

The block length to use in the bootstrap.

boot

A choice of either the stationary or block boostrap.

Details

Calculates and returns the results of both the R (range) and SQ (semi-quadratic) statistics.

Value

A list with the following items:

includedR

The models included based on the R statistic.

pvalsR

The final p-values of each model under the R statistic.

excludedR

The excluded models based on the R statistic.

includedSQ
