When the break date is unknown the Quandt likelihood ratio (QLR) test (Quandt 1960) may be used. It is a modified version of the Chow test which uses the largest of all \(F\)-statistics obtained when applying the Chow test for all possible break dates in a predetermined range \(\left[\tau_0,\tau_1\right]\). The QLR test is summarized in Key ...

Quandt likelihood ratio (QLR) test. [This section is based on Stock & Watson, 3/e, pp. 558-561. See references there to Quandt (1960) and Andrews (2003).] To implement the QLR test, we must deal with two issues. First, in order to test whether two sub-samples have the same coefficients, we must have enough observations in each sub-

Two such methods are tests for structural breaks, notably the so-called Quandt (1960) likelihood ratio (QLR) test and analy-sis of stability based on pseudo out-of-sample forecasts. I show that, for the U.S., both methods suggest widespread evi-dence of structural instability among macroeconomic rela-tions.

2023年8月1日 · This paper develops Wald-type (Wald hereafter), Quasi-Likelihood Ratio (QLR), and score-type (score hereafter) tests for linear equality constraints against two-sided alternative hypotheses in a general class of extremum estimation problems where the parameter space is characterized by a finite number of linear equality and inequality constraints.

2013年1月25日 · This is called "QLR-Testing" You loop through your series and F-Test dummy breaks at a certain interval. The exact values for this are given in many books concerning econometrics, such as Stock/Watson. Note that your critical values differs from the Chow test and also depends on the range of values you discard at the beginning and the end.

• It is difficult to compute QLR without using some programming. • But it is well approximated by – Examining rolling and recursive estimates for possible breaks – Computing Chow test at potential breakdates. • Don’t use STATA’s p‐value! • Use Table 14.6 from SW (or earlier slide).

Performs Quandt Likelihood Ratio-test (QLR) for structural breaks with unknown break date. The object returned by this command can be plotted using the plot() function. Usage qlr.test(mod, data = list(), from, to, sig.level = 0.05, details = FALSE) Arguments

The QLR test is just the maximum F-statistic from the Chow test over a certain sample. The Fstats() function gives you exactly what you want. Here is an example using the Phillips curve: require(strucchange) data("PhillipsCurve") model <- dp ~ dp1 + u1 qlr <- Fstats(model,data=PhillipsCurve) plot(qlr,alpha=0.05)
