Goodness-of-Fit Tests for Random Partitions via Symmetric Polynomials
We consider goodness-of-fit tests with i.i.d. samples generated from a categorical distribution (p1, ..., pk). We test the null hypothesis whether pj = qπ(j) for some label permutation π. The uncertainty of label permutation implies that the null hypothesis is composite instead of being singular. In this paper, we construct a testing procedure using statistics that are defined as indefinite int...
متن کاملAn empirical goodness-of-fit test for multivariate distributions
An empirical test is presented by which one may determine whether a specified multivariate probability model is suitable to describe the underlying distribution of a set of observations. This test is based on the premise that, given any probability distribution, the Mahalanobis distances corresponding to data generated from that distribution will likewise follow a distinct distribution that can...
متن کاملNew Goodness-of-fit Tests for Pareto Distributions*
A new approach to goodness-of-fit for Pareto distributions is introduced. Based on Euclidean distances between sample elements, the family of statistics and tests is indexed by an exponent in (0,2) on Euclidean distance. The corresponding tests are statistically consistent and have excellent performance when applied to heavy-tailed distributions. The exponent can be tailored to the particular P...
متن کاملNonparametric Goodness-of-Fit Tests for Discrete Null Distributions
Methodology extending nonparametric goodness-of-fit tests to discrete null distributions has existed for several decades. However, modern statistical software has generally failed to provide this methodology to users. We offer a revision of R’s ks.test() function and a new cvm.test() function that fill this need in the R language for two of the most popular nonparametric goodness-of-fit tests. ...
متن کاملGoodness-of-fit for Sparse Distributions in High Energy Physics
We consider Pearson’s chi-square X2, the likelihood ratio G2, and Zelterman’s D2 as goodness-of-fit statistics for high energy physics problems in several dimensions, where the data are sparse. There is a fundamental obstacle in the “ultrasparse” case where all bins have at most one entry (ni = 0, 1 ∀i). A condition for avoiding this regime is derived; the allowed number of bins k rises faster ...
