Exploiting the information content of hydrological ''outliers'' for goodness-of-fit testing [PDF]

open access: yesHydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2010
Validation of probabilistic models based on goodness-of-fit tests is an essential step for the frequency analysis of extreme events. The outcome of standard testing techniques, however, is mainly determined by the behavior of the hypothetical model, < ...

Composite Goodness-of-fit Tests with Kernels

open access: yesJ. Mach. Learn. Res., 2021
Model misspecification can create significant challenges for the implementation of probabilistic models, and this has led to development of a range of robust methods which directly account for this issue. However, whether these more involved methods are required will depend on whether the model is really misspecified, and there is a lack of generally ...

Testing Goodness-of-Fit of Parametric Spatial Trends

open access: yesProceedings, 2018
The aim of this work is to propose and analyze the behavior of a test statistic to assess a parametric trend surface, that is, a regression model with spatially correlated errors.

The Information Geometry of Sparse Goodness-of-Fit Testing

open access: yesEntropy, 2016
This paper takes an information-geometric approach to the challenging issue of goodness-of-fit testing in the high dimensional, low sample size context where—potentially—boundary effects dominate. The main contributions of this paper are threefold: first,

Testing Goodness-of-Fit with the Kernel Density Estimator: GoFKernel

open access: yesJournal of Statistical Software, 2015
To assess the goodness-of-fit of a sample to a continuous random distribution, the most popular approach has been based on measuring, using either L∞ - or L2 -norms, the distance between the null hypothesis cumulative distribution function and the ...

Clarifying the Implicit Assumptions of Two-Wave Mediation Models via the Latent Change Score Specification: An Evaluation of Model Fit Indices

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2021
Statistical mediation analysis is used to investigate mechanisms through which a randomized intervention causally affects an outcome variable. Mediation analysis is often carried out in a pretest-posttest control group design because it is a common ...

Multinomial Goodness-Of-Fit Tests

open access: yesJournal of the Royal Statistical Society Series B: Statistical Methodology, 1984
SUMMARY This article investigates the family {I  λ;λ ϵ ℝ} of power divergence statistics for testing the fit of observed frequencies {Xi; i = 1, …, k} to expected frequencies {Ei; i = 1, …, k}. From the definition 2nIλ=2λ(λ+1)∑i=1kXi{(XiEi)λ−1};λ∈ℝ it can easily be seen that Pearson's X  2 (λ = 1), the log likelihood ratio
