SpeTestNP - Non-Parametric Tests of Parametric Specifications

Performs non-parametric tests of parametric specifications. Five tests are available. Specific bandwidth and kernel methods can be chosen along with many other options. Allows parallel computing to quickly compute p-values based on the bootstrap. Methods implemented in the package are H.J. Bierens (1982) <doi:10.1016/0304-4076(82)90105-1>, J.C.
