Development of an Informal Test for the Fit of a Probability Distribution Model for Teaching

Journal of Statistics Education, 2020
Informally testing the fit of a probability distribution model is educationally a desirable precursor to formal methods for senior secondary school students. Limited research on how to teach such an informal approach, lack of statistically sound criteria

Goodness of fit by Neyman-Pearson testing

SciPost Physics
The Neyman-Pearson strategy for hypothesis testing can be employed for goodness of fit if the alternative hypothesis is selected from data by exploring a rich parametrised family of models, while controlling the impact of statistical fluctuations.

An Alternative Model for Describing the Reliability Data: Applications, Assessment, and Goodness-of-Fit Validation Testing

Mathematics, 2023
We provide a new extension of the exponential distribution with an emphasis on the practical elements of the model. Six different classical estimation methods were applied and compared. The main test was evaluated on complete data using four sets of data.

Linking Pareto-Tail Kernel Goodness-Offit Statistics with Tail Index at Optimal Threshold and Second Order Estimation

Revstat Statistical Journal, 2008
In this paper the relation between goodness-of-fit testing and the optimal selection of the sample fraction for tail estimation, for instance using Hill’s estimator, is examined.

Language, Culture, and Cancer: Qualitative Insights Into Communication Disparities Among Spanish‐Speaking Caregivers of Children With Cancer

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Latino children are projected to make up nearly one‐third of United States (US) children by 2060, and many of their caregivers speak Spanish. Prior survey research has documented communication difficulties for Spanish‐speaking caregivers of children with cancer, but contemporary qualitative data are limited.

“We Cannot Talk as a Family”: Complexities of Survivorship Communication Among Hispanic/Latino Young Adult Survivors of Childhood Cancer, Parents, and Clinicians

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Young adult childhood cancer survivors (YA‐CCS) have an increased risk of treatment‐related health complications throughout their lives. Lifelong survivorship care is recommended, yet many YA‐CCS experience disruptions in care during pediatric‐to‐adult transitions and do not receive recommended survivorship care.

Therapeutic Apheresis in Nigeria: A Multi‐Center Summary of Abstracts From the Inaugural Nigerian Society for Apheresis Scientific Meeting

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Therapeutic apheresis (TA) is an established treatment modality for hematologic, neurologic, and immunologic disorders, yet access remains severely limited in sub‐Saharan Africa. Donor apheresis, including platelet apheresis collection from healthy donors, represents an important complementary modality supporting blood product ...

Finite Sample Corrections for Parameters Estimation and Significance Testing

Frontiers in Applied Mathematics and Statistics, 2018
An increasingly important problem in the era of Big Data is fitting data to distributions. However, many stop at visually inspecting the fits or use the coefficient of determination as a measure of the goodness of fit.

Goodness-of-fit tests for weibull populations on the basis of records [PDF]

Journal of Statistical Theory and Applications (JSTA), 2015
Record is used to reduce the time and cost of running experiments (Doostparast and Balakrishnan, 2010). It is important to check the adequacy of models upon which inferences or actions are based (Lawless, 2003, Chapter 10, p. 465).
