Empirical Hankel transforms and its applications to goodness-of-fit tests

Empirical Hankel transforms and its applications to goodness-of-fit tests

We introduce a special Hankel transform for probability distributions on the nonnegative half-line and discuss some of its properties. Due to the uniqueness of the transform we suggest an integral type test statistic based on the empirical Hankel transform to treat simple and composite hypotheses goodness-of-fit problems. The special case of exponential distributions is studied in detail. © 200...

The Comparison Between Goodness of Fit Tests for Copula

‎Copula functions as a model can show the relationship between variables‎. ‎Appropriate copula function for a specific application is a function that shows the dependency between data in a best way‎. ‎Goodness of fit tests theoretically are the best way in selection of copula function‎. ‎Different ways of goodness of fit for copula exist‎. ‎In this paper we will examine the goodness of fit test...

Goodness-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...
