% Rule of Thumb: Banerjee, A.N. and J.R. Magnus (2000)
% Testing for restriction C \beta = c0
% The t-statistic is sensitive (at the 50% level)
% to covariance misspecification if and only if
% \phi/c>0.40
% input: X = the matrix of independent data (n x k)
% C = the restriction k x 1
% T = the Derivative of the covariance matrix at \theta = 0
% In this demo the derivative matrix A is the derivative of
% variance covariance matrix of AR(1)(same as MA(1))) at the \theta =0
% where \theta is the AR(1) parameter.
%
% Output : decision = 1 then t-statistic is sensitive to
% nuisance parameter \theta
% = 0 otherwise
% RHO = \phi/c
%
% ASY_MEAN,ASY_VARIANCE = asymptotic mean and variance of RHO
