A Goodness-of-fit Test for the Distribution Tail
نویسندگان
چکیده
In order to check that a parametric model provides acceptable tail approximations, we present a test which compares the parametric estimate of an extreme upper quantile with its semiparametric estimate obtained by extreme value theory. To build this test, the sampling variations of these estimates are approximated through parametric bootstrap. Numerical Monte Carlo simulations explore the covering probability and power of the test. A real-data study illustrates these results.

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 ...
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...

Based on the goodness of fit approach, a new test is presented for testing exponentiality versus used better than aged in convex tail ordering UBACT class of life distribution. The percentiles of this test are tabulated for sample sizes n=1(5)100. It is shown that the proposed test is simple and it has high relative efficiency for some commonly used alternatives. A numerical example in medical ...
متن کاملAssessment of Goodness of Fit Methods in Determining the Best Regional Probability Distribution of Rainfall Data
One of the most important problems in time series analysis of stream flow and rainfall data in an area is selecting the best probability distribution. Since the rainfall stations are associated and correlated with each other, so statistical analysis of the station data seamlessly are very important. Therefore, the first step in data analysis, is selecting the prevailing probability distribution...
متن کاملA Goodness of Fit Test For Exponentiality Based on Lin-Wong Information
In this paper, we introduce a goodness of fit test for expo- nentiality based on Lin-Wong divergence measure. In order to estimate the divergence, we use a method similar to Vasicek’s method for estimat- ing the Shannon entropy. The critical values and the powers of the test are computed by Monte Carlo simulation. It is shown that the proposed test are competitive with other tests of exponentia...
