  1. The C–T test results are based on the forecast performance of the proposed asymmetric model (unrestricted model) as against the symmetric model (ARFIMA model). WN_ASY is treated as the unrestricted model and ARFIMA is treated as the restricted model. Intuitively, a positive C–T statistic suggests that the unrestricted model outperforms the restricted model. When there is a negative C–T statistic, it implies that the restricted model surpasses the unrestricted model
