Inference on Functionals under First Order Degeneracy
Qihui Chen, Zheng Fang · 2019-01-15 · via math.ST updates on arXiv.org

This paper presents a unified second order asymptotic framework for conducting inference on parameters of the form $φ(θ_0)$, where $θ_0$ is unknown but can be estimated by $\hatθ_n$, and $φ$ is a known map that admits null first order derivative at $θ_0$. For a large number of examples in the literature, the second order Delta method reveals a nondegenerate weak limit for the plug-in estimator $φ(\hatθ_n)$. We show, however, that the `standard' bootstrap is consistent if and only if the second order derivative $φ_{θ_0}''=0$ under regularity conditions, i.e., the standard bootstrap is inconsistent if $φ_{θ_0}''\neq 0$, and provides degenerate limits unhelpful for inference otherwise. We thus identify a source of bootstrap failures distinct from that in Fang and Santos (2018) because the problem (of consistently bootstrapping a \textit{nondegenerate} limit) persists even if $φ$ is differentiable. We show that the correction procedure in Babu (1984) can be extended to our general setup. Alternatively, a modified bootstrap is proposed when the map is \textit{in addition} second order nondifferentiable. Both are shown to provide local size control under some conditions. As an illustration, we develop a test of common conditional heteroskedastic (CH) features, a setting with both degeneracy and nondifferentiability -- the latter is because the Jacobian matrix is degenerate at zero and we allow the existence of multiple common CH features.
