Test of serial correlation for models estimated by GMM
mtest(object, order=1, vcov=NULL)
object |
an object of class |
order |
the order of the serial correlation (1 or 2), |
vcov |
a matrix of covariance for the coefficients or a function to compute it. |
The Arellano–Bond test is a test of correlation based on the
residuals of the estimation. By default, the computation is done with the standard covariance matrix of the coefficients. A robust estimator of this covariance matrix can be supplied with the vcov argument.
An object of class "htest".
