BG Test
BG test - To check for autocorrelation in errors
This is LM test to check for the autocorrelation
> x <- rep(c(1, -1), 50) > y1 <- 1 + x + rnorm(100) > bgtest(y1 ~ x) Breusch-Godfrey test for serial correlation of order 1 data: y1 ~ x LM test = 0.0046, df = 1, p-value = 0.9458 |
Test the fourth order serial correlation
> bgtest(y1 ~ x, order = 4) Breusch-Godfrey test for serial correlation of order 4 data: y1 ~ x LM test = 5.7028, df = 4, p-value = 0.2225 |
Compare with Durbin-Watson test results:
> dwtest(y1 ~ x) Durbin-Watson test data: y1 ~ x DW = 2.0117, p-value = 0.5635 alternative hypothesis: true autocorrelation is greater than 0 |
MA residual process check
> y2 <- filter(y1, 0.5, method = "recursive") > bgtest(y2 ~ x) Breusch-Godfrey test for serial correlation of order 1 data: y2 ~ x LM test = 19.2194, df = 1, p-value = 1.165e-05 |
