Sample splitting and assessing goodness-of-fit of time series.

ABSTRACT: A fundamental and often final step in time series modelling is to assess the quality of fit of a proposed model to the data. Since the underlying distribution of the innovations that generate a model is often not prescribed, goodness-of-fit tests typically take the form of testing the fitted residuals for serial independence. However, these fitted residuals are intrinsically dependent since they are based on the same parameter estimates, and thus standard tests of serial independence, such as those based on the autocorrelation function or auto-distance correlation function of the fitted residuals, need to be adjusted. The sample-splitting procedure of Pfister et al. (2018) is one such fix for the case of models for independent data, but fails to work in the dependent setting. In this artic
