In section II, the general philosophy of Durbin's derivation is discussed. The argument is, in places, simplified and some points are amplified if they are important for the developments which follow. Durbin's requirement was to obtain a test statistic using only those estimates obtained with the null hypothesis imposed. Therefore, it might be expected to be closely related to the Lagrange multiplier (LM) approach of Aitchison and Silvey [2]. This relationship is explored in sections III and IV. Section III has a discussion of the LM test in the framework adopted by Durbin for his general discussion and in section IV the LM statistic for testing against autoregressive disturbances in a dynamic model is derived. The conclusion is that the LM and Durbin statistics are asymptotically equivalent but differ in that Durbin's statistic uses estimates of autoregressive parameters while the LM statistic uses simple autocorrelations of the OLS residuals. In section V some special cases are considered. Apart from the familiar Durbin h-statistic for first order autocorrelation, the simplifications of the general form of the statistic for simple kth order and the important case of joint first and fourth are obtained. The relationship between Durbin's test and that of Box and Pierce [3] is not immediately apparent but it is shown how the latter may be obtained from the LM statistic by additional approximations. Durbin developed his test for the case where the alternative hypothesis is that the disturbances follow an autoregressive (AR) process. Fitts [6] has attempted to use the same general method to obtain a test against the hypothesis that the disturbances are generated by a moving average (MA) but his procedure is not very practicable. In section VI the LM test is obtained for this situation with the surprising result that the statistic is exactly the same as in the AR case. The possibility of applying the LM approach to testing for composite (ARMA) disturbances is...
