Goodness-of-fit tests for the Compound Rayleigh distribution with application to real data
2019
Badr, Majdah M.
An important problem in statistics is to obtain information about the form of the population from which the sample is drawn. Goodness of fit (GOF) tests is employed to determine how well the observed sample data “fits” some proposed model. The well known standard goodness of fit tests; Kolomogorov-Smirnov (KS), Cramer von Mises (CVM) and Anderson-(AD) tests are used for continuous distributions. When the parameters are unknown, the standard tables for these tests are not valid. The complete sample procedures of goodness of fit tests are inappropriate for use with censored samples. The critical values obtained from published tables of the complete sample test statistic are necessarily conservative.In this paper, we obtain the tables of critical values of modified Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) test, Cramer-Von Mises (CVM) test and Anderson-Darling (AD) test for the Compound Rayleigh (CR) distribution with unknown parameters in the case of complete and type II censored samples. Furthermore, we present power comparison between KS test, CVM test and AD test for a number of alternative distributions. Applications of the considered distribution to real medical data sets given by Stablein et al. (1981) are presented.
