Computing the confidence levels for a root-mean-square test of goodness-of-fit
The classic χ statistic for testing goodness-of-fit has long been a cornerstone of modern statistical practice. The statistic consists of a sum in which each summand involves division by the probability associated with the corresponding bin in the distribution being tested for goodness-of-fit. Typically this division should precipitate rebinning to uniformize the probabilities associated with t...
متن کاملChi-Square Test for Goodness of Fit
Scientists often use the Chi-square (χ) test to determine the “goodness of fit” between theoretical and experimental data. In this test, we compare observed values with theoretical or expected values. Observed values are those that the researcher obtains empirically through direct observation. The theoretical or expected values are developed on the basis of an established theory or a working hy...
متن کاملA goodness-of-fit test for structural nested mean models
Coarse structural nested mean models are tools to estimate treatment effects from longitudinal observational data with time-dependent confounding. There is, however, no guidance on how to specify the treatment effect model, and model misspecification can lead to bias. We derive a goodness-of-fit test based on modified overidentification restrictions tests for evaluating a treatment effect model...
متن کاملA New Goodness-of-Fit Test for a Distribution by the Empirical Characteristic Function
Extended Abstract. Suppose n i.i.d. observations, X1, …, Xn, are available from the unknown distribution F(.), goodness-of-fit tests refer to tests such as H0 : F(x) = F0(x) against H1 : F(x) $neq$ F0(x). Some nonparametric tests such as the Kolmogorov--Smirnov test, the Cramer-Von Mises test, the Anderson-Darling test and the Watson test have been suggested by comparing empirical ...
متن کاملA Goodness of Fit Test For Exponentiality Based on Lin-Wong Information
In this paper, we introduce a goodness of fit test for expo- nentiality based on Lin-Wong divergence measure. In order to estimate the divergence, we use a method similar to Vasicek’s method for estimat- ing the Shannon entropy. The critical values and the powers of the test are computed by Monte Carlo simulation. It is shown that the proposed test are competitive with other tests of exponentia...
