This article introduces an informative goodness-of-fit (iGOF) approach to study multivariate distributions. When the null model is rejected, iGOF allows us identify underlying sources of mismodeling and naturally equips practitioners with additional insights on nature deviations from true distribution. The character procedure achieved by exploiting smooth tests random fields theory facilitate a...

Some resularities are more salient to the visual system than others. P. A. van der Helm and E. L. J. Leeuwenberg (1996) have proposed a new approach that quantifies the goodness of a pattern's regularity as the number of holographic identities constituting the regulartiy, relative to the total amount of information needed to describe the pattern. This holographic approach to goodness was compar...

of the variation in the data, and we would disagree that the straight line is “obviously bad” or “not a good description of the data.” We do not advocate elimination of the term “test for the significance of the regression,” but we would like to see the term “goodness of fit” associated with F = MSifMS and dissociated from F = MS101/MSpe. The larger the value of F = MSiact / MS, the greater is ...
