Abstract

Recently the generalization of the standard Dickey-Fuller test to the fractional case has been proposed. The proposed test, called fractional Dickey-Fuller test can be applied to sample generated from a type I or a type II fractional process. Depending on whether the test is applied to sample generated from a type I or type II process, it is referred to as a test with or without prehistoric influence respectively. The main and the first objective of this paper is to study the impact induced by a pre-sample of the finite sample null distribution. In fact, the recently proposed test is built based on a composite null hypothesis rather than a sample one. The second objective is to highlight the theoretical justifications for the choice of the null composite hypothesis. All the theoretical results are illustrated with simulated and real data sets. Furthermore, to facilitate the reproducibility of our simulation data and figures we provide all the necessary supplementary material consisting of EViews programs.
