Diagnosing problems with imputation models using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test: a simulation study
BACKGROUND Multiple imputation (MI) is becoming increasingly popular as a strategy for handling missing data, but there is a scarcity of tools for checking the adequacy of imputation models. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) test has been identified as a potential diagnostic method for assessing whether the distribution of imputed data deviates substantially from that of the observed data. The aim of...
متن کاملA Modified Kolmogorov-Smirnov Test for Normality
In this paper we propose an improvement of the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test for normality. In the current implementation of the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, a sample is compared with a normal distribution where the sample mean and the sample variance are used as parameters of the distribution. We propose to select the mean and variance of the normal distribution that provide the closest fit to the data....
متن کاملSmall Improvement to the Kolmogorov-Smirnov Test
The Kolmogorov-Smirnov (K-S) test is widely used as a goodness-of-fit test. This thesis consists of two parts to describe ways to improve the classical K-S test in both 1-dimensional and 2-dimensional data. The first part is about how to improve the accuracy of the classical K-S goodness-of-fit test in 1-dimensional data. We replace the p-values estimated by the asymptotic distribution with nea...
متن کاملROC curve equivalence using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test
This paper describes a simple, non-parametric and generic test of the equivalence of Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves based on a modified Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) test. The test is described in relation to the commonly used techniques such as the Area Under the ROC curve (AUC) and the Neyman-Pearson method. We first review how the KS test is used to test the null hypotheses that th...
متن کاملKolmogorov-Smirnov Test for Interval Data
In this paper, we are interested in extending the classical KolmogorovSmirnov homogeneity test to compare two samples of interval-valued observed measurements. In such a case, the test result is interval-valued, and one major difficulty is to find the bounds of this set. We propose a very efficient computational method for approximating these bounds by using a p-box (pairs of upper and lower cu...
