چکیده

We introduce a special Hankel transform for probability distributions on the nonnegative half-line and discuss some of its properties. Due to the uniqueness of the transform we suggest an integral type test statistic based on the empirical Hankel transform to treat simple and composite hypotheses goodness-of-fit problems. The special case of exponential distributions is studied in detail. © 2009 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

On 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...

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 ...

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 Jackknife Empirical Likelihood Approach to Goodness-of-fit Degenerate U-statistics Testing

Motivated by applications to goodness of fit degenerate U-statistics testing, the Jackknife empirical likelihood approach for U-statistics is generalized to degenerate U-statistics. The proposed empirical likelihood based goodness of fit tests are asymptotically distribution free. The asymptotic theory for testing shift of location, spatial depth testing for central symmetry, Cramér-von Mises t...

Score Based Goodness-of-fit Tests for Time Series

This paper studies a class of tests useful for testing goodness of fit of a wide variety of time series models. These tests are based on a class of empirical processes marked by certain scores. Major advantages of these tests are that they are easy to implement, require only weak conditions that are usually satisfied in practical applications, the relevant critical values are readily available ...
