[R] Test for Random Walk and Makov Process

[Ken]

For random walk, there are entropy based tests (Robinson 1991), or you could empirically test the hypothesis by generating random normal data with the same mean and standard deviation and looking at the distribution of your quantiles. You could make generic statements also about whether or not the data demonstrates autocorrelation function values which are not significant and do not appear to have trend. Further, In a random walk, a binary variable for whether or not values are above and below the mean should follow a binomial distribution of size 1 with a probability of .5, there are tests which do this but also take magnitude into account. I mean to say there are a lot of ways to approach that problem, it depends on the application and how strong you want your conclusions to be. What kind of Markov process?
