A portmanteau test is a type of statistical hypothesis test in which the null hypothesis is well specified, but the alternative hypothesis is more loosely specified. Tests constructed in this context can have the property of being at least moderately statistical power powerful against a wide range of departures from the null hypothesis. Thus, in applied statistics , a portmanteau test provides a reasonable way of proceeding as a general check of a statistical model model s match to a dataset where there are many different ways in which the model may depart from the underlying data generating process . Use of such tests avoids having to be very specific about the particular type of departure being tested. Examples In time series analysis , two well known versions of a portmanteau test are available for testing for autocorrelation in the residuals of a model it tests whether any of a group of autocorrelation s of the residual time series are different from zero. This test is the Ljung&ndash Box test , ref name LB Ljung, G. M. and Box, G. E. P., On a measure of lack of fit in time series models.
