Abstract

This article investigates a portmanteau test statistic for checking model adequacy of smooth transition autoregressive (STAR) models. The asymptotic distribution of residual autocorrelations and the least-squares estimators are also derived. Hence, the correct asymptotic standard errors for residual autocorrelations are also obtained facilitating model diagnostic checking. Through the graphical display of the simulation results concerning the size and power, for commonly used nominal sizes (≤ 0.1), the portmanteau test appears to be more advantageous than the Lagrange multiplier tests in checking serial independence for the errors of STAR models.
