A Goodness-of-Fit Test Based on Spacings.

Abstract

The difference between consecutive order statistics from a sample is called a spacing. Various tests based on sample spacings have been considered in the literature for testing the hypothesis that the sample is drawn from a specified distribution. Tests based on the spacings are recommended for use when the alternative distribution differs from the hypothetical distribution in the shape of the density function. In this paper, we consider a test based on the spacings designed for the case when the ratio of the two density functions is a piece-wise monotone function. This paper deals mainly with the large sample properties of the test. (Author)
