Abstract

This paper reports the results of a simulation study of the likelihood ratio test of independence in models with spatial and temporal covariance structure for a given (fixed) regression part of a random coefficient model. Results show that the null distribution of the likelihood ratio test statistic is not distributed as a 50:50 mixture of the constant zero and chi-square distribution with one degree of freedom.
