Tests of fit using spacings statistics with estimated parameters

چکیده
Let X,, , X, be a sequence of independent and identically distributed random variables with an unknown underlying continuous cumulative distribution function F. Relative to this unknown distribution function suppose one would like to test a null hypothesis concerning the goodness of fit of F to some distribution function using symmetric functions of sample spacings. In some applications the null hypothesis is simple while in others it may be composite. In this article we present the large sample theory of tests based on symmetric functions of sample spacings under composite null hypotheses and contiguous alternatives. It is shown that these test statistics have the same asymptotic distribution in the case when parameters must be estimated from the sample as in the case when parameters are specified. Optimal goodness of fit tests are also constructed for these hypotheses.

On Multivariate Likelihood Ratio Ordering among Generalized Order Statistics and their Spacings
The most of the results obtained about stochastic properties of generalized order statistics and their spacings in the literature are based on equal model parameters. In this paper, with less restrictive conditions on the model parameters, we prove some new multivariate likelihood ratio ordering results between two sub-vectors of GOS's as well as two sub-vectors of $p$-spacings based on two con...
متن کاملA power comparison and simulation study of goodness-of-fit tests
We give the results of a comprehensive simulation study of the power properties of prominent goodness-of-fit tests. For testing the normal N(μ,σ2), we propose a new omnibus goodness-of-fit statistic C which is a combination of the Shapiro–Wilk statistic W and the correlation statistic R. We show that the test of normality based on C is overall more powerful than other prominent goodness-of-fit ...
متن کاملOn the Canonical-Based Goodness-of-fit Tests for Multivariate Skew-Normality
It is well-known that the skew-normal distribution can provide an alternative model to the normal distribution for analyzing asymmetric data. The aim of this paper is to propose two goodness-of-fit tests for assessing whether a sample comes from a multivariate skew-normal (MSN) distribution. We address the problem of multivariate skew-normality goodness-of-fit based on the empirical Laplace tra...
متن کاملA robust least squares fuzzy regression model based on kernel function
In this paper, a new approach is presented to fit arobust fuzzy regression model based on some fuzzy quantities. Inthis approach, we first introduce a new distance between two fuzzynumbers using the kernel function, and then, based on the leastsquares method, the parameters of fuzzy regression model isestimated. The proposed approach has a suitable performance to<b...
متن کاملA comparison of alternative approaches to sup-norm goodness of fit tests with estimated parameters
Goodness of fit tests based on sup-norm statistics of empirical processes have nonstandard limiting distributions when the null hypothesis is composite — that is, when parameters of the null model are estimated. Several solutions to this problem have been suggested, including the calculation of adjusted critical values for these nonstandard distributions and the transformation of the empirical ...
