Computer Problems in Goodness-of-Fit

Abstract

In this article several problems are discussed involving the use of the computer in statistics. These have arisen in connection with the author's work in goodness-of-fit, but occur in many other applications. The subjects treated are: estimating percentage points a) by Monte Carlo simulation and b) by Pearson curve fitting; c) estimation of asymptotic percentage points and d) approximations to the covariance matrix of order statistics and its inverse.
