To this end, we propose a bimodal weighted-average test statistic that removes the bias induced by temporal dependence under the null hypothesis, thereby avoiding the need to whiten the time series prior to hypothesis testing -- a procedure that is challenging in high-dimensional and nonstationary settings. To facilitate statistical inference, we develop a dependent wild bootstrap procedure.
