Abstract

This paper considers a distance test for normality of the one-dimensional marginal distribution of stationary fractionally integrated processes. The test is implemented by using an autoregressive sieve bootstrap approximation to the null sampling distribution of the test statistic. The bootstrap-based test does not require knowledge of either the dependence parameter of the data or of the appropriate norming factor for the test statistic. The small-sample properties of the test are examined by means of Monte Carlo experiments. An application to real-world data is also presented.
