This article reviews some nonparametric serial independence tests based on measures of divergence between densities. Among others, the well-known Kullback-Leibler, Hellinger, Tsallis, and Rosenblatt divergences are analyzed. Moreover, their copula-based version is taken into account. Via a wide simulation study, the performances of the considered serial independence tests are compared under different settings. Both single-lag and multiple-lag testing procedures are investigated to find out the best "omnibus" solution.

Abstract

This article reviews some nonparametric serial independence tests based on measures of divergence between densities. Among others, the well-known Kullback-Leibler, Hellinger, Tsallis, and Rosenblatt divergences are analyzed. Moreover, their copula-based version is taken into account. Via a wide simulation study, the performances of the considered serial independence tests are compared under different settings. Both single-lag and multiple-lag testing procedures are investigated to find out the best "omnibus" solution.
