Abstract
â¢Symmetry important economically and statistically.â¢Propose bootstrap procedure for nonparametric test of symmetry.â¢Demonstrate consistency of bootstrap procedure.â¢Testing approach displays impressive performance.â¢Empirical examples highlight the appeal of this test in practice.
This paper proposes a bootstrap algorithm for testing symmetry of a univariate density. Validity of the bootstrap procedure is shown theoretically as well as via simulations. Three empirical examples demonstrate the versatility of the test in practice.
