Powerful goodness-of-fit tests based on the likelihood ratio
نویسنده
چکیده
A new approach of parameterization is proposed to construct a general goodnessof-fit test. It can not only generate traditional tests (including the Kolmogorov–Smirnov, Cramér– von Mises and Anderson–Darling tests) but also produce new types of omnibus tests, which are generally much more powerful than the old ones.

An empirical likelihood ratio based goodness-of-fit test for Inverse Gaussian distributions
The Inverse Gaussian (IG) distribution is commonly introduced to model and examine right skewed data having positive support. When applying the IG model, it is critical to develop efficient goodness-of-fit tests. In this article, we propose a new test statistic for examining the IG goodness-of-fit based on approximating parametric likelihood ratios. The parametric likelihood ratio methodology i...
متن کاملAn 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, ...
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 کاملModelling Circular Data Using a Mixture of Von Mises and Uniform Distributions
The von Mises distribution is often useful for modelling circular data problems. We consider a model for which von Mises data is contaminated with a certain proportion of points uniformly distributed around the circle. Maximum likelihood estimation is used to produce parameter estimates for this mixture model. Computational issues involved with obtaining the maximum likelihood estimates for the...
متن کاملdbEmpLikeGOF: An R Package for Nonparametric Likelihood Ratio Tests for Goodness-of-Fit and Two Sample Comparisons Based on Sample Entropy
We introduce and examine dbEmpLikeGOF, an R language for performing goodnessof-fit tests based on sample entropy. This package also performs the two sample distribution comparison test. For a given vector of data observations, the provided function dbEmpLikeGOF tests the data for the proposed null distributions, or tests for distribution equality between two vectors of observations. The propose...
