Abstract
In transformation regression models the response is transformed before fitting a regression model to covariates and transformed response. We assume such a model where the errors are independent from the covariates and the regression function is modeled nonparametrically. We suggest a test for goodness-of-fit of a parametric transformation class based on a distance between a nonparametric transformation estimator and the parametric class. We present asymptotic theory under the null hypothesis of validity of the semi-parametric model and under local alternatives. A bootstrap algorithm is suggested in order to apply the test. We also consider relevant hypotheses to distinguish between large and small distances of the parametric transformation class to the `true' transformation.
