Abstract
In this paper, we apply the maximum entropy test developed for a goodness of fit in iid samples by [11] to autoregressive time series models including non-stationary unstable models. Its asymptotic distribution is derived under the null hypothesis. A bootstrap version of the test is also discussed and its performance is evaluated through Monte Carlo simulations. A real data analysis is conducted for illustration.
