Bootstrap test for change-points in nonparametric regression. (English) Zbl 1148.62304

Summary: The objective of this article is to test whether or not there is an abrupt change in the regression function itself or in its first derivative at certain (prespecified or not) locations. The test does not rely on asymptotics but approximates the sample distribution of the test statistic using a bootstrap procedure. The proposed testing method involves a data-driven choice of the smoothing parameters. The performance of the testing procedures is evaluated via a simulation study. Some comparison with an asymptotic test by Z. Hamrouni [Inférence statistique par lissage linéaire local pour une fonction de régression présentant des discontinuités. Doctoral thesis, Université de Joseph Fourier, Grenoble, France (1999)] and G. Grégoire and Z. Hamrouni [J. Nonparametric Stat. 14, No. 1-2, 87–112 (2002; Zbl 1016.62054)] and asymptotic tests by H.-G. Müller and U. Stadtmüller [Ann. Stat. 27, No. 1, 299–337 (1999; Zbl 0954.62052)] and Ch. Dubowik and U. Stadtmüller [Detecting jumps in nonparametric regression. In: Puri, M. L. (ed.), Asymptotics in Statistics and Probability, 171–184 (2000)] is provided. We also demonstrate the use of the testing procedures on some real data.
