I made artificial random walk signals in a spreadsheet, and ran them through the Chen.Deo (vrtest package) test in R. When the "k vector" contains only, say, 2-3 values, I get the correct VR sum = approximately 1. However, when I add one or two more k values, suddenly the VR sum goes up to around 1.6. Eventually, if I add all k values from 2 to 10 inclusively, I end up with a VR sum around 3.45. I don't understand why having more k values to check affects the result of the VR sum. Is that a normal behavior of the Chen Deo test? Thanks [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
