Joint Wald Statistic is a test of the joint significance of several coefficients of individual independent variables (Wald 1943). e. the variance of the residuals is not constant (Lyon and Tsai 1996). The Jarque-Bera Statistic is a goodness-of-fit test of whether sample data, in this case regression residuals, have skewness and kurtosis that correspond to a normal distribution (Jarque and Bera 1980). The Moran’s I test for spatial autocorrelation of residuals indicates whether or not there is spatial bias in the spatial distribution of the residuals.
