nortsTest (version 1.1.2)

elbouch.statistic: Computes El Bouch, et al.'s z statistic.

Description

Computes the El Bouch, Michel, & Comon's z test statistic for normality of a univariate or bivariate time series.

Usage

elbouch.statistic(y, x = NULL)

Value

a real value with El Bouch test's statistic.

Arguments

y

a numeric vector or an object of the ts class containing a stationary time series.

x

a numeric vector or an object of the ts class containing a stationary time series.

Author

Asael Alonzo Matamoros.

Details

This function computes Mardia's standardized `z = (B - E_B)/ sd_B` statistic corrected by El Bouch, et al. (2022) for stationary bivariate time series. Where: `B` is the square of a quadratic form of the process `c(y, x)`; `E_B` and `sd_B` are the estimator's expected value and standard error respectively. If `x` is set to `NULL`, the test computes the univariate counterpart.
