A Simple Test for Uniformity of a Circular Distribution
圆周分布均匀性的简单检验
Consider a finite set of points, located on the circumference of a circle. Several tests have been proposed of the hypothesis that the points constitute a random sample from a uniform distribution. In this paper we study a test statistic defined as the maximal number of points that can be covered by some semicircle. Exact and asymptotic distributions under the null hypothesis, and under a certain alternative hypothesis, are given together with some tables. A related test…
