In this paper we explore the application of structured additive distributional regression for the analysis of conditional income distributions in Germany following the reunification. Using a bootstrapped Kolmogorov-Smirnov test we find that conditional personal income distributions can generally be modelled using the three parameter Dagum distribution. Additionally our results hint at an even m...

In this paper we consider reciever design for frequency hopping orthogonal frequency-division multiple access system [2]. We propose new demodultaion algorithm that can increase the number of simultaneous transmissions with the same bit error rate. This algoritm can use any statistic that can test equality of emprical distribution funcions. We have used Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistic in this pape...

In this paper the Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistical test for the analysis of histograms is presented. The test is discussed for both the two-sample case (comparing fn1(X) to fn2 (X)) and the one-sample case (comparing fn1 (X) to f(X)). Presentation of the specific algorithmic steps involved is done through development of an example where the data are from an experiment discussed elsewhere in this ...

The Pareto distribution model assumption in the peaks over threshold method, will be tested by making using of the Kolmogorov-Smirnov goodness of fit method. Pareto distributed variables can be transformed to exponential, and the test will be for exponentiality. It was found that the statistic can be used as an indication of where to choose the threshold and to check the Pareto model assumption.

We present a reformulation of the Benjamini-Hochberg method that is useful in 'large-scale' multiple testing problems based on discrete test statistics and derive its basic asymptotic (as the number of hypotheses tends to infinity) properties, subsuming earlier results. A set of gene expression data is used to illustrate the workings of the method in a multiple testing problem based on Kolmogor...

Generalizing the Cramér-von Mises and the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, different integral statistics based on Lp-norms are compared with respect to local approximate Bahadur efficiency. Simulation results corroborate the theoretical findings. Several examples illustrate that goodness-of-fit testing based on Lp-norms should receive more attention. It is shown that, given a distribution function F0 a...
