This is not true. If the electron accelerates, then it emits or
absorbs electromagnetic radiation. However, this merely contributes to
the Lorentz invariant radiation background. The only changes in energy
that can be perceived are those produce radiation that is not part of
the Lorentz invariant background. The observed energy has to be
distinguishable from zero point radiation.

In the SED model, the electron actually moves around with a "well
defined" trajectory. Unfortunately, the "well defined trajectory: is
determined by a zero point field that has an infinite number of modes
and an infinite number of random phases. The random phases in the
Lorentz invariant background cause the uncertainty seen in "quantum"
measurements.
The random phases in the ZPT makes the trajectory look like it is
being everywhere at the same time. Note: the SED model is only a
model. I am not claiming that the electron actually moves around like
this, only that SED explains the experimental measurements up to a
certain point. There is no replacing QED just yet.

This is for a thermal distribution of electromagnetic energy. A
thermal distribution would kick the electron around so it takes a path
resembling Brownian motion. However, the ZPT in this model has a
Lorentz invariant distribution. A Lorentz invariant distribution of
classical radiation would have an infinite energy density, no low
frequency cut off, no high frequency cut off, and an infinite number
of random phases. The result is motion that does not resemble Brownian
motion.

I am talking about a classical analogue for quantum mechanics. In
this classical analogue, the wave function of an electron is an
illusion. The behavior of the electron, which is a point particle, has
statistical properties that resemble the QED electron with the wave-
particle duality.

I am not sure what you mean by Aspects experiments. Perhaps you
mean photon correlation experiments.
SED has been used to explain two photon correlation experiments.
The predictions of SED and QED are identical in experiments that
involve single photon transitions and two photon transitions.
QED and SED predicts different measurements in the case of
transitions that involve three or more photons. Experimental evidence
so far seems to favor QED. So quantum mechanics appears safe. However,
it is amazing that SED manages to explain so much without a true wave-
particle duality.
If you like, I can get you the title of an article describing
experiments where SED fails. QED still rules for three photon
transitions. I have no link to this article.
There is another thread here concerning the applicability of QED
to a radio antenna. Obviously, SED would explain most of the
properties of a radio antenna as well as QED. Not only that, it
probably would explain the properties of most radio frequency
phenomena even in the "quantum" realm.
I have been tempted start explaining things in the radio antenna
in terms of SED. However, this would confuse some people further than
they are already confused. The discussion is hot enough |:-)

That is not true.
I have read lots of articles related to lots of studied of the
topic. There has been a lot of work on this. The following link may be
a helpful introduction to the topic.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stochastic_electrodynamics
Title: Stochastic electrodynamics
“In theoretical physics, Stochastic Electrodynamics (SED) is a variant
of Classical Electrodynamics (CED) which posits the existence of a
classical Lorentz-Invariant radiation field having statistical
properties similar to that of the electromagnetic zero-point field
(ZPF) of Quantum Electrodynamics (QED). Investigations of SED have
been concerned with:
The degree to which this prescription might cause CED to mimic some
behaviors traditionally considered to be the exclusive domain of
Quantum Mechanics; and
A possible classical ZPF-based origin for gravity and inertia.”
…
“SED has been used in attempts to provide a classical explanation for
effects previously considered to require quantum mechanics (here
restricted to the Schrödinger equation and the Dirac equation and QED)
for their explanation.”

To my surprise I found an experimental 'proof' of this assumption and
that is called 'coin shrinking':

The relation to my model is, that higher energetic content would make
things smaller. And pumping large amounts of energy into a coin would
make spin faster or raise the frequency, what means smaller spheres
(because of higher frequency). Actually it's easier to imagine, the coin
got kicked into another direction and undergoes length contraction, or:
Lorentz transforms in place (because it is still here - you could hold
it in you hand).
