Sequential detection of influenza epidemics by the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test
BACKGROUND Influenza is a well known and common human respiratory infection, causing significant morbidity and mortality every year. Despite Influenza variability, fast and reliable outbreak detection is required for health resource planning. Clinical health records, as published by the Diagnosticat database in Catalonia, host useful data for probabilistic detection of influenza outbreaks. ME...
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 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...
متن کاملMinimum Kolmogorov–Smirnov test statistic parameter estimates
When a reliability analysis, survival analysis, or discrete-event simulation input modeling analysis is performed, it is typically the case that a modeler collects data associated with some system under consideration. Although this raw data provides an initial insight into the stochastic elements of the system, often it is desirable to construct a model of the system which is tractable for math...
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....
