A New Goodness-of-Fit Test for a Distribution by the Empirical Characteristic Function
Extended Abstract. Suppose n i.i.d. observations, X1, …, Xn, are available from the unknown distribution F(.), goodness-of-fit tests refer to tests such as H0 : F(x) = F0(x) against H1 : F(x) $neq$ F0(x). Some nonparametric tests such as the Kolmogorov--Smirnov test, the Cramer-Von Mises test, the Anderson-Darling test and the Watson test have been suggested by comparing empirical ...
متن کاملGoodness-of-fit tests in mixed models
Mixed models, with both random and fixed effects, are most often estimated on the assumption that the random effects are normally distributed. In this paper we propose several formal tests of the hypothesis that the random effects and/or errors are normally distributed. Most of the proposed methods can be extended to generalized linear models where tests for non-normal distributions are of inte...
متن کاملA Goodness-of-fit Test for the Distribution Tail
In order to check that a parametric model provides acceptable tail approximations, we present a test which compares the parametric estimate of an extreme upper quantile with its semiparametric estimate obtained by extreme value theory. To build this test, the sampling variations of these estimates are approximated through parametric bootstrap. Numerical Monte Carlo simulations explore the cover...
متن کاملA Goodness-of-fit test for marginal distribution of linear random fields with long memory
This paper addresses the problem of fitting a known distribution function to the marginal distribution of a stationary long memory moving average random field observed on increasing ν-dimensional “cubic” domains when its mean μ and scale σ are known or unknown. Using two suitable estimators of μ and a classical estimate of σ, a modification of the Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistic is defined based o...
متن کاملA Goodness of Fit Test For Exponentiality Based on Lin-Wong Information
In this paper, we introduce a goodness of fit test for expo- nentiality based on Lin-Wong divergence measure. In order to estimate the divergence, we use a method similar to Vasicek’s method for estimat- ing the Shannon entropy. The critical values and the powers of the test are computed by Monte Carlo simulation. It is shown that the proposed test are competitive with other tests of exponentia...
