Thank you very much for the answer. If I take Poisson model and follow
"Generalized M-fluctuation tests for parameter instability", A. Zeileis and
K. Hornik, Statistica Neerlandica (2007) Vol. 61, N. 4, p. 500-501 (section
4.3):

data("Boston")
n <- 506;

I guess that this is data("Boston", package = "MASS")?

my.X <- as.matrix(cbind(1, Boston["crim"], Boston["age"]));
my.model <- glm(tax ~ crim + age, family = poisson, data = Boston);

Applying a Poisson model for count data to a tax rate seems to be very awkward.

my.psi <- estfun(my.model);
my.mu <- fitted(my.model);
J <- sum(my.mu*my.X%*%t(my.X))/n;

This should be the covariance matrix, not a scalar.

my.process <- apply(as.matrix(my.psi), 2, cumsum)/sqrt(J*n);

gprocess <- gefp(tax ~ crim + age, family = poisson, data=Boston);

then my.process and gprocess$process have to be the same?

No. Even if you would have computed the J that you would have been interested in (and computed its root correctly), then gefp() still uses a different covariance matrix estimator by default.

See ?gefp and the 2006 CSDA paper for more details. Looking at the actual code may also help.


Best regards,
Julia
