چکیده

In a convolution model, we observe random variables whose distribution is the convolution of some unknown density f and some known noise density g. We assume that g is polynomially smooth. We provide goodness-of-fit testing procedures for the test H0 : f = f0, where the alternative H1 is expressed with respect to L2-norm (i.e. has the form ψ−2 n ‖f −f0‖2 ≥ C). Our procedure is adaptive with respect to the unknown smoothness parameter τ of f . Different testing rates (ψn) are obtained according to whether f0 is polynomially or exponentially smooth. A price for adaptation is noted and for computing this, we provide a non-uniform Berry-Esseen type theorem for degenerate U -statistics. In the case of polynomially smooth f0, we prove that the price for adaptation is optimal. We emphasise the fact that the alternative may contain functions smoother than the null density to be tested, which is new in the context of goodness-of-fit tests. Résumé Dans un modèle de convolution, les observations sont des variables aléatoires réelles dont la distribution est la convoluée entre une densité inconnue f et une densité de bruit g supposée entièrement connue. Nous supposons que g est de régularité polynomiale. Nous proposons un test d’adéquation de l’hypothèse H0 : f = f0 lorsque l’alternative H1 est exprimée à partir de la norme L2 (i.e. de la forme Preprint submitted to Elsevier May 4, 2008 ψ−2 n ‖f − f0‖2 ≥ C). Cette procédure est adaptative par rapport au paramètre inconnu τ qui décrit la régularité de f . Nous obtenons différentes vitesses de test (ψn) en fonction du type de régularité de f0 (polynomiale ou bien exponentielle). L’adaptativité induit une perte sur la vitesse de test, perte qui est calculée grâce à un théorème de type Berry-Esseen non-uniforme pour des U -statistiques dégénérées. Dans le cas d’une régularité polynomiale pour f0, nous prouvons que cette perte est optimale. Soulignons que l’alternative peut éventuellement inclure des densités qui sont plus régulières que la densité à tester sous l’hypothèse nulle, ce qui est un point de vue nouveau pour les tests d’adaptation.

Goodness-of-fit testing and quadratic functional estimation from indirect observations

We consider the convolution model where i.i.d. random variables Xi having unknown density f are observed with additive i.i.d. noise, independent of the X’s. We assume that the density f belongs to either a Sobolev class or a class of supersmooth functions. The noise distribution is known and its characteristic function decays either polynomially or exponentially asymptotically. We consider the ...

An Updated Review of Goodness of Fit Tests Based on Entropy

Different approaches to goodness of fit (GOF) testing are proposed. This survey intends to present the developments on Goodness of Fit based on entropy during the last 50 years, from the very first origins until the most recent advances for different data and models. Goodness of fit tests based on Shannon entropy was started by Vasicek in 1976 and were continued by many authors. In this paper, ...

A New Goodness-of-Fit Test for a Distribution by the Empirical Characteristic Function

Extended Abstract. Suppose n i.i.d. observations, X1, …, Xn, are available from the unknown distribution F(.), goodness-of-fit tests refer to tests such as H0 : F(x) = F0(x) against H1 : F(x) $neq$ F0(x). Some nonparametric tests such as the Kolmogorov--Smirnov test, the Cramer-Von Mises test, the Anderson-Darling test and the Watson test have been suggested by comparing empirical ...

A test of goodness-of-fit for the copula densities

We consider the problem of testing hypotheses on the copula density from n bidimensional observations. We wish to test the null hypothesis characterized by a parametric class against a composite nonparametric alternative. Each density under the alternative is separated in the L2-norm from any density lying in the null hypothesis. The copula densities under consideration are supposed to belong t...
