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, ...

Overview This package contains tools for performing univariate goodness-of-fit (GOF) statistical tests. Static methods for computing (or approximating) the distribution function F (x) of certain GOF test statistics, as well as their complementary distribution function ¯ F (x) = 1 − F (x), are implemented in classes FDist and FBar. Tools for computing the GOF test statistics and the correspondin...

In humans, gain-of-function (GOF) mutations in RHBDF2 cause the skin disease tylosis. We generated a mouse model of human tylosis and show that GOF mutations in RHBDF2 cause tylosis by enhancing the amount of amphiregulin (AREG) secretion. Furthermore, we show that genetic disruption of AREG ameliorates skin pathology in mice carrying the human tylosis disease mutation. Collectively, our data s...

Using notions of depth functions in the multivariate setting, we have constructed several new goodness fit (GoF) tests based on existing univariate GoF tests. Since exact computation is difficult, estimated a large random sample drawn from null distribution. It has been shown that test statistics are close to those true depth. Some two-sample data also discussed for scale differences. These dis...

For almost as long as the civil war in Syria, the scientific community has been locked in a controversy about the utility of gain‐of‐function (GOF) research to increase the transmissibility of highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 viruses that resulted in a year‐long moratorium (Nature, 2012a, b, 2013a, b). Now, for the first time since the controversy erupted in November 2011, there is a grow...

This paper presents a Bayesian latent variable model used to analyze ordinal response survey data by taking into account the characteristics of respondents. The ordinal response data are viewed as multivariate responses arising from continuous latent variables with known cut-points. Each respondent is characterized by two parameters that have a Dirichlet process as their joint prior distributio...

The central ethical claim of Casadevall et al. in “An Epistemological Perspective on the Value of Gain-of-Function Experiments Involving Pathogens with Pandemic Potential” (1) is that, when conducting risk-benefit analyses on studies that use gain-offunction (GOF) methods to create potential pandemic pathogens (PPP), we ought to explicitly account for the value of the “epistemic gains” of the e...
