NONLINEARITY TESTS 155C l (δ, T ) =2T k (T k − 1)∑i< jI δ (Xi ∗ , X ∗ j ), l = 1, k,where T l = T − l + 1andX ∗ i= x i if l = 1andX ∗ i= X k iif l = k. Under the nullhypothesis that {x t } are iid with a nondegenerated distribution function F(.), Brock,Dechert, and Scheinkman (1987) show thatC k (δ, T ) →[C 1 (δ)] k with probability 1, as T →∞for any fixed k and δ. Furthermore, the statistic √ T {C k (δ, T ) −[C 1 (δ, T )] k } isasymptotically distributed as normal with mean zero and variance]σk [N 2 (δ) = 4 ∑k k−1+ 2 N k− j C 2 j + (k − 1) 2 C 2k − k 2 NC 2k−2 ,j=1where C = ∫ [F(z + δ)− F(z − δ)]dF(z) and N = ∫ [F(z + δ)− F(z − δ)] 2 dF(z).Note that C 1 (δ, T ) is a consistent estimate <strong>of</strong> C,andN can be consistently estimatedbyN(δ, T ) =6T k (T k − 1)(T k − 2)The BDS test statistic is then defined as∑t
