In this paper, a new definition of the number of observations near the kth order statistics is developed. Then some characterization results for Pareto and some related distributions are established in terms of mass probability function, first moment of these new counting random variables, and using completeness properties of the sequence of functions xn,0<x<1,n≥1. Finally, new goodness-of-fit tests based on these new characterizations for Pareto distribution are presented. And the power values of the proposed tests are compared with the power values of well-known tests such as Kolmogorov–Smirnov and Cramer-von Mises tests by Monte Carlo simulations.

AbstractStatistical analysis starts with the assessment of the distribution of experimental data. Different statistics are used to test the null hypothesis (H0) stated as Data follow a certain/specified distribution. In this paper, a new test based on Shannon’s entropy (called Shannon’s entropy statistic, H1) is introduced as goodness-of-fit test. The performance of the Shannon’s entropy statistic was tested on simulated and/or experimental data with uniform and respectively four continuous distributions (as error function, generalized extreme value, lognormal, and normal). The experimental data used in the assessment were properties or activities of active chemical compounds. Five known goodness-of-fit tests namely Anderson-Darling, Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Cramér-von Mises, Kuiper V, and Watson U2 were used to accompany and assess the performances of H1.

A class of goodness of fit tests for Marshal-Olkin Extended Rayleigh distribution with estimated parameters is proposed. The tests are based on the empirical distribution function. For determination of asymptotic percentage points, Kolomogorov-Sminrov, Cramer-von-Mises, Anderson-Darling,Watson, and Liao-Shimokawa test statistic are used. This article uses Monte Carlo simulations to obtain asymptotic percentage points for Marshal-Olkin extended Rayleigh distribution. Moreover, power of the goodness of fit test statistics is investigated for this lifetime model against several alternatives.

This article studied the goodness-of-fit tests for the beta Gompertz distribution with four parameters based on a complete sample. The parameters were estimated by the maximum likelihood method. Critical values were found by Monte Carlo simulation for the modified Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Anderson-Darling, Cramer-von Mises, and Lilliefors test statistics. The power of these test statistics founded the optimal alternative distribution. Real data applications were used as examples for the goodness of fit tests.

In data analysis of reliability, the traditional goodness-of-fit test is not applicable for grouped data under some circumstances. In this paper, a Kolmogorov-Smirnov test based on survival ratio method is proposed to determine the distribution type of grouped data. The power of the proposed test and other well-known goodness-of-fit tests are compared by Monte Carlo simulation, and the results show that the proposed test method is more powerful.

Data hujan harian dibahagikan kepada empat jenis rentetan hujan (jenis 1, 2, 3 dan 4). Taburan Gamma, Weibull, Kappa dan Gabungan Eksponen ialah empat taburan statistik yang diuji dalam memadankan data jumlah hujan harian di Semenanjung Malaysia. Parameter bagi setiap taburan dianggar dengan menggunakan kaedah kebolehjadian maksimum. Model dipilih berdasarkan nilai ralat yang minimum terhasil dari tujuh ujian kesesuaian model iaitu median bagi perbezaan nilai mutlak antara taburan empirik dengan taburan yang diuji, statistik fungsi empirik iaitu Kolmogorov-Smirnov D, Anderson Darling A2 dan Cramer-von-Mises W2 serta kaedah baru statistik fungsi empirik yang berasaskan kepada ujian nisbah kebolehjadian. Berdasarkan nilai ujian kesesuaian model, didapati taburan Gabungan Eksponen adalah yang paling sesuai dalam memadankan data jumlah hujan harian di Semenanjung Malaysia. Kata kunci: Jumlah hujan harian, ujian kesesuaian model, gabungan eksponen Daily rainfall data have been classified according to four rain types of sequence of wet days (Type 1, 2, 3 and 4). The Gamma, Weibull, Kappa and Mixed Exponential are the four distributions that have been tested to fit daily rainfall amount in Peninsular Malaysia. Parameter for each distribution were estimated using the maximum likelihood method. The selected model is chosen based on the minimum error produced by seven goodness-of-fit (GOF) tests namely the medium of absolute difference (MAD) between the empirical and hypothesized distributions, the traditional Empirical Distribution Function (EDF) Statistics which include Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistic D, Anderson Darling statistic A2 and Cramer-von-Mises statistic W2 and the new method of EDF Statistic based on likelihood ratio statistic. Based on these goodness-of-fit test, the Mixed Exponential is found to be the most approriate distribution for describing the daily rainfall amount in Peninsular Malaysia. Key words: Dairy rainfall amount, goodness–of–fit test, mixed exponential

Improving power of goodness-of-fit tests is an important research topic in statistics. The goal of the goodness-of-fit test is to check whether the underlying probability distribution, from which a sample is drawn, differs from a hypothesized distribution. Numerous research papers have been published in this area. It has been shown that the power of the existing goodness-of-fit tests in the literature is unsatisfactory when the alternative distributions are of V-shape or when the sample sizes are small. This motivates the development of more powerful test statistics. In this research, a new test statistic is proposed. The result can be used to test whether the underlying probability distribution differs from a uniform distribution. By applying the probability integral transformation, the proposed test statistic can be used to check whether the underlying distribution differs from any hypothesized distribution. The performance of the method proposed in this research is compared with the Kolmogorov–Smirnov test, which is a widely adopted statistical test in the literature. It has been shown that the test proposed in this proposal is more powerful than the Kolmogorov–Smirnov test in some cases.

Goodness of fit test is a test that has attracted researchers’ interest over the decades. This study is on goodness of fit test for normal distribution only. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov (K-St) and Pearson’s Chi-square (χ² test) goodness of fit test were used to determine the normality of a given data.  The result revealed that the data is normal under the two tests and that the Kolmogorov-Smirnov (K-S test) were preferred to Pearson’s Chi-square (χ² test). The Kolmogorov-Smirnov (K-S) test of goodness of fit is the most suitable in terms of the p-value.

In this paper, we develop some goodness of fit tests for Rayleigh distribution based on Phi-divergence. Using Monte Carlo simulation, we compare the power of the proposed tests with some traditional goodness of fit tests including Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Anderson-Darling and Cramer von-Mises tests. The results indicate that the proposed tests perform well as compared with their competing tests in the literature. Finally, the proposed procedures are illustrated via a real data set.
