We show that after being appropriately standardized, the nonparametric R 2 is asymptotically normally distributed under the null hypothesis and a sequence of Pitman local alternatives. We also prove the consistency of the test and propose a bootstrap method to obtain the bootstrap p-values. We conduct a small set of simulations and compare our test with some popular parametric and nonparametric tests in the literature UR - 10.1017/S0266466612000278 ER -
