Recent and classical tests for exponentiality: a partial review with comparisons

N Henze, SG Meintanis - Metrika, 2005 - Springer
A wide selection of classical and recent tests for exponentiality are discussed and
compared. The classical procedures include the statistics of Kolmogorov-Smirnov and …

On the automatic selection of the tuning parameter appearing in certain families of goodness-of-fit tests

C Tenreiro - Journal of Statistical Computation and Simulation, 2019 - Taylor & Francis
The situation, common in the current literature, is that of a whole family of location-
scale/scale invariant test statistics, indexed by a parameter λ∈ Λ, is available to test the …

Eigenvalues approximation of integral covariance operators with applications to weighted statistics

B Ebner, MD Jiménez-Gamero, B Milošević - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
Finding the eigenvalues connected to the covariance operator of a centred Hilbert-space
valued Gaussian process is genuinely considered a hard problem in several mathematical …

On a data-dependent choice of the tuning parameter appearing in certain goodness-of-fit tests

JS Allison, L Santana - Journal of Statistical Computation and …, 2015 - Taylor & Francis
We propose a data-dependent method for choosing the tuning parameter appearing in
many recently developed goodness-of-fit test statistics. The new method, based on the …

New -type exponentiality tests

M Cuparić, B Milošević, M Obradović - arXiv preprint arXiv:1809.07585, 2018 - arxiv.org
We introduce new consistent and scale-free goodness-of-fit tests for the exponential
distribution based on Puri-Rubin characterization. For the construction of test statistics we …

Testing for the Pareto type I distribution: A comparative study

L Ndwandwe, JS Allison, L Santana, IJH Visagie - Metron, 2023 - Springer
Pareto distributions are widely used models in economics, finance and actuarial sciences.
As a result, a number of goodness-of-fit tests have been proposed for these distributions in …

An 'apples to apples' comparison of various tests for exponentiality

JS Allison, L Santana, N Smit, IJH Visagie - Computational Statistics, 2017 - Springer
The exponential distribution is a popular model both in practice and in theoretical work. As a
result, a multitude of tests based on varied characterisations have been developed for …

Testing normality via a distributional fixed point property in the Stein characterization

S Betsch, B Ebner - Test, 2020 - Springer
We propose two families of tests for the classical goodness-of-fit problem to univariate
normality. The new procedures are based on L^ 2 L 2-distances of the empirical zero-bias …

A review of tests for exponentiality with Monte Carlo comparisons

EO Ossai, MS Madukaife… - Journal of Applied Statistics, 2022 - Taylor & Francis
In this paper, 91 different tests for exponentiality are reviewed. Some of the tests are
universally consistent while others are against some special classes of life distributions …

New class of exponentiality tests based on U-empirical Laplace transform

B Milošević, M Obradović - Statistical Papers, 2016 - Springer
In this paper, a new class of goodness of fit tests for exponential distribution is proposed.
The tests use the equidistribution characterizations of exponential distribution. Based on the …
