TLDR
In this article, the Neyman-Pearson theory is applied to the problem of testing serial correlation in quadratic forms, and certain theorems concerning more general problems of Quadratic Form are developed and later applied to test serial correlation.
Abstract
Several different statistics have been proposed for testing the independence between successive observations from a normal population. In order to choose between the various tests a theory of testing this hypothesis in certain populations is needed. In this paper the problem is studied within the framework of the Neyman-Pearson theory. Certain theorems concerning more general problems of quadratic forms are developed and later applied to the question of testing serial correlation.

Testing for serial correlation in least squares regression. II.

TL;DR: The problem of testing the errors for independence forms the subject of this paper and its successor and deals mainly with the theory on which the test is based, while the second paper describes the test procedures in detail and gives tables of bounds to the significance points of the test criterion adopted.

Serial Correlation and the Fixed Effects Model

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors generalized the Durbin-Watson type statistics to test the OLS residuals from the fixed effects model for serial independence and developed a method for efficient estimation of the parameters.

On the Theory of Testing for Unit Roots in Observed Time Series

TL;DR: In this article, a unit root null hypothesis for the errors affecting a classical regression model against the non-stationary (including explosive) alternative hypothesis is developed, and the test statistic is simplified in order that it could be viewed as a von Neumann type ratio and exact significance points are tabulated.

Chapter 46 Unit roots, structural breaks and trends

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a review of inference about large autoregressive or moving average roots in univariate time series, and structural change in multivariate time-series regression.

Generalized Least Squares

TL;DR: In this paper, a nonlinear version of the Gauss-Markov Theorem is used for estimating the risk matrix of a least square estimator in a two-equation Heteroscedastic model.

On the Problem of the Most Efficient Tests of Statistical Hypotheses

TL;DR: The problem of testing statistical hypotheses is an old one as discussed by the authors and its origins are usually connected with the name of Thomas Bayes, who gave the well-known theorem on the probabilities a posteriori of the possible causes of a given event.
