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.

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.

Several recent papers treated robust and efficient estimation of tail index parameters for (equivalent) Pareto and truncated exponential models, for large and small samples. New robust estimators of “generalized median” (GM) and “trimmed mean” (T) type were introduced and shown to provide more favorable trade-offs between efficiency and robustness than several well-established estimators, including those corresponding to methods of maximum likelihood, quantiles, and percentile matching. Here we investigate performance of the above mentioned estimators on real data and establish — via the use of goodness-of-fit measures — that favorable theoretical properties of the GM and T type estimators translate into an excellent practical performance. Further, we arrive at guidelines for Pareto model diagnostics, testing, and selection of particular robust estimators in practice. Model fits provided by the estimators are ranked and compared on the basis of Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Cramér-von Mises, and Anderson-Darling statistics.

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.

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.

Goodness Of Fit Tests

In this paper, we introduce some new goodness-of-fit tests for the Rayleigh distribution based on Jeffreys, Lin-Wong and Renyi divergence measures. Then, the new proposed tests are compared with other tests in the literature. We compare the power of considered tests for some alternative distributions whose powers are calculated by Monte Carlo simulation. Finally, we conclude that entropy-based tests have a good performance in terms of power and among them Jeffreys test is the best one.

We propose a Mahalanobis distance–based Monte Carlo goodness of fit testing procedure for the family of stochastic actor-oriented models for social network evolution. A modified model distance estimator is proposed to help the researcher identify model extensions that will remediate poor fit. A limited simulation study is provided to establish baseline legitimacy for the Mahalanobis distance–based Monte Carlo test and modified model distance estimator. A forward model selection workflow is proposed, and this procedure is demonstrated on a real data set.

This paper presents a new generalization of the Topp-Leone distribution called the Topp-Leone Weibull Distribution (TLWD). Some of the mathematical properties of the proposed distribution are derived, and the maximum likelihood estimation method is adopted in estimating the parameters of the proposed distribution. An application of the proposed distribution alongside with some well-known distributions belonging to the Topp-Leone generated family of distributions, to a real lifetime data set reveals that the proposed distribution exhibits more flexibility in modeling lifetime data based on some comparison criteria such as maximized log-likelihood, Akaike Information Criterion [AIC=2k-2 log⁡(L) ], Kolmogorov-Smirnov test statistic (K-S) and Anderson Darling test statistic (A*) and Crammer-Von Mises test statistic (W*).
