A simple and convenient artificial regression based LM tests of asymmetry in the logit model is derived. The test does not use the outer product gradient (OPG) form and in thus likely to have fairly good small sample properties.
Murphy, Anthony(University College Dublin. School of Economics, 1994-12)
Lagrange Multiplier tests for omitted variables , heteroscedasticity, incorrect functional form and asymmetry in the ordered logit model may be readily calculated using an artificial regression. The proposed artificial ...
