A new estimator of Kullback–Leibler information and its application in goodness of fit tests*

open access: yesJournal of Statistical Computation and Simulation, 2019
We propose here a general statistic for the goodness of fit test of statistical distributions. The proposed statistic is constructed based on an estimate of Kullback–Leibler information.

A best-fit probability distribution for the estimation of rainfall in northern regions of Pakistan

open access: yesOpen Life Sciences, 2016
This study was designed to find the best-fit probability distribution of annual maximum rainfall based on a twenty-four-hour sample in the northern regions of Pakistan using four probability distributions: normal, log-normal, log-Pearson type-III and ...

Goodness‐of‐fit tests for high dimensional linear models [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the Royal Statistical Society: Series B (Statistical Methodology), 2015
We propose a framework for constructing goodness‐of‐fit tests in both low and high dimensional linear models. We advocate applying regression methods to the scaled residuals following either an ordinary least squares or lasso fit to the data, and using ...

Improved EDF-Based Tests for Weibull Distribution Using Ranked Set Sampling

open access: yesMathematics, 2022
It is well known that ranked set sampling (RSS) is superior to conventional simple random sampling (SRS) in that it frequently results in more effective inference techniques.

Goodness-of-Fit Tests to study the Gaussianity of the MAXIMA data

open access: yes, 2003
Goodness-of-Fit tests, including Smooth ones, are introduced and applied to detect non-Gaussianity in Cosmic Microwave Background simulations. We study the power of three different tests: the Shapiro-Francia test (1972), the uncategorised smooth test ...

On the automatic selection of the tuning parameter appearing in certain families of goodness-of-fit tests

open access: yesJournal of Statistical Computation and Simulation, 2019
The situation, common in the current literature, is that of a whole family of location-scale/scale invariant test statistics, indexed by a parameter , is available to test the goodness of fit of F, the underlying distribution function of a set of ...

Goodness-of-fit tests for multi-dimensional copulas: Expanding application to historical drought data

open access: yesWater Science and Engineering, 2013
The question of how to choose a copula model that best fits a given dataset is a predominant limitation of the copula approach, and the present study aims to investigate the techniques of goodness-of-fit tests for multi-dimensional copulas. A goodness-of-

Computationally Efficient Goodness-of-Fit Tests for the Error Distribution in Nonparametric Regression

open access: yesRevstat Statistical Journal, 2018
Several procedures have been proposed for testing goodness-of-fit to the error distribution in nonparametric regression models. The null distribution of the associated test statistics is usually approximated by means of a parametric bootstrap which ...

Testing for goodness rather than lack of fit of continuous probability distributions.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2021
The vast majority of testing procedures presented in the literature as goodness-of-fit tests fail to accomplish what the term is promising. Actually, a significant result of such a test indicates that the true distribution underlying the data differs ...
