A Robust Projection-Based Test for Goodness-of-Fit in Linear Models with a Divergent Number of Covariates
摘要
We propose a robust projection-based test to check linear regression models when the dimension may be divergent. The proposed test can maintain the type I error rate effectively when outliers are present, achieve dimension reduction as if only a single covariate was present, and inherited the robustness of the M-estimation. The test is shown to be consistent and can detect root-n local alternative hypotheses. We further derive asymptotic distributions of the proposed test under the null hypothesis and analyze asymptotic properties under the local and global alternatives. We evaluate the finite-sample performance via simulation studies and apply the proposed method to analyze a real dataset as an illustration.
