Abstract

Abstract This article considers the problem of testing for intrablock or intracluster correlation in regression disturbances that may occur when cluster or two-stage sampling data is used in regression analysis. It points out that the one-sided Lagrange multiplier test is locally best invariant. An empirical power comparison suggests that if the block structure is known this test should be used. Otherwise the Durbin—Watson test provides a useful test, especially in large samples.
