In practice, the data  collected often systematically deviate from their actual values; a typical example is the underreporting of data in social sciences, ecology and epidemiology. Therefore, direct application of traditional statistical methods to the data may lead to incorrect inferences. In this paper, we propose a new test for serial dependence or cross-dependence of stationary or periodic time series and use a block bootstrap method to mimic the distribution of the test statistics. The test shows desirable performance in simulated data with underreporting and is used to detect factors of dengue transmission and cardiovascular disease.
