\title{ Tests of Location and Location Scale Shift Hypotheses for Linear Models}
\description{Tests of the hypothesis that a linear model specification
is of the location shift or location-scale shift form. The tests are based
on the Doob-Meyer Martingale transformation approach proposed by Khmaladze(1981)
for general goodness of fit problems, and adapted to quantile regression by
Koenker and Xiao (2002).}
\usage{
KhmaladzeTest(formula, data = NULL, taus = -1, nullH = "location" ,
trim = c(0.05, 0.95), ...)
}
\arguments{
\item{formula}{a formula specifying the model to fit by \code{\link{rqProcess}}}
\item{data}{a data frame within which to interpret the formula}
\item{taus}{An equally spaced grid of points on which to evaluate the
quantile regression process, if any taus fall outside (0,1) then the full
process is computed.}
\item{nullH}{a character vector indicating whether the "location" shift hypothesis
(default) or the "location-scale" shift hypothesis should be tested. }
\item{trim}{ a vector indicating the lower and upper bound of the quantiles to
included in the computation of the test statistics (only, not
estimates). }
\item{...}{other arguments to be passed to \code{\link{summary.rq}.}}
}
\value{
an object of class KhmaladzeTest is returned containing:
\item{nullH}{ The form of the null hypothesis.}
\item{Tn}{
Joint test statistic of the hypothesis that all the slope
parameters of the model satisfy the hypothesis.
}
\item{THn}{
Vector of test statistics testing whether individual slope
parameters satisfy the null hypothesis.
}
