Testing the Information Matrix Equality with Robust Estimators



where the first line uses (1 + x)/(1 + y) 1 + x — y for x and y small,
with
x = EFn (Y2) 1 and y = σ2n 1, and the second line uses the second
moment of Student’s
t, pn/(pn 2). We also have that

Fn 4   - 3 = EFn (Y4)(1 - 2(σ2 - 1)) - 3 + o(pn 1)

To compute Σ1, note that, by partial integration and using φ'(z) = —zφ(z),

E [ZPc(Z)] = j∞ (z)dpc(z)

= У Pc ( Z )( φ ( Z ) — Z 2 φ ( Z )) dz

= E [Z2Pc(Z)] — bc

Along the same lines we get

E [Z2PC(Z)] = E [Z3pc(Z)] 2E [Zp'c(Z)] ,

and

E [Z3Pc(Z)] = 3E [Z2Pc(Z)] + E [Z4Pc(Z)] ,
