Abstract

In this paper we provide a new procedure to test for at most m changes in the
time–dependent regression model Our procedure is based on weighted sums of the residuals, incorporating the possibility of m changes. The weak limit of the proposed test statistic is the sum of two double exponential random variables. A small Monte Carlo simulation illustrates the applicability of the limit results in case of small and moderate sample sizes. We compare the new method to the CUSUM and standardized (weighted) CUSUM procedures and obtain
the power curves of the test statistics under the alternative. We apply our method to find changes in the unconditional four factor CAPM.
