Tests on other Distributions

Dirk Taeger, Sonja Kuhnt

Abstract

This chapter presents goodness-of-fit tests for distributions other than Gaussian. Tests in the first section of the chapter are based on the empirical distribution function (EDF). The second section deals with Pearson's X2-test, which is an omnibus test for goodness-of-fit but not so powerful if alternative tests on specific distributions are available. The appropriate sample codes namely, SAS and R codes, are given to perform all the discussed tests.
