title = "Tests for Independence in Nonparametric Regression",
abstract = "Consider the nonparametric regression model Y = m(X)+e, where the function m is smooth, but unknown.We construct tests for the independence of e and X, based on n independent copies of (X; Y ).The testing procedures are based on differences of neighboring Y 's.We establish asymptotic results for the proposed tests statistics, investigate their finite sample properties through a simulation study and present an econometric application to household data.The proofs are based on delicate empirical process theory.",
