Abstract
The M-estimation method is used to define the unrestricted test, restricted test and pre-test test (PTT) for testing the intercept vector of a multivariate simple regression model when it is a priori suspected that the slope vector has some specified values. The asymptotic distribution of the test statistics and the asymptotic power functions of the proposed M-tests are derived. Performances of the M-tests are compared both analytically and graphically. The analytical results as well as an illustrative simulation study to compare the size and power of the M-tests reveal a reasonable dominance of the PTT over the other two tests.
