An Updated Review of Goodness of Fit Tests Based on Entropy

Authors

Abstract:

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, we describe different GOF tests constructed by authors from the beginning to now. First, the problem of GOF and different types of GOF are stated. Then, the method of GOF tests based on entropy for complete and censored data is explained and all works proposed by authors in this subject are mentioned.

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...

The Comparison Between Goodness of Fit Tests for Copula

‎Copula functions as a model can show the relationship between variables‎. ‎Appropriate copula function for a specific application is a function that shows the dependency between data in a best way‎. ‎Goodness of fit tests theoretically are the best way in selection of copula function‎. ‎Different ways of goodness of fit for copula exist‎. ‎In this paper we will examine the goodness of fit test...

Goodness of Fit Tests Based on Kernel Density Estimators

The paper is devoted to goodness of fit tests based on probability density estimates generated by kernel functions. The test statistic is considered in the form of maximum of the normalized deviation of the estimate from its expected value or a hypothesized distribution density function. A comparative Monte Carlo power study of the investigated criterion is provided. Simulation results show tha...
