Goodness of Fit Tests for Composite Hypotheses Based on an Increasing Number of Order Statistics

Abstract

Concern is shown with sequences of tests of the composite null hypothesis that the distribution function of an observed sample is a member of a specified scale-location parameter family, where the scale and location parameters are unknown and unspecified. First, a test of this hypothesis proposed by L. Weiss is studied. Then several tests for the most common special case--that of normality are analyzed.
