Extended Neyman smooth goodness-of-fit tests, applied to competing heavy-tailed distributions
扩展 Neyman 光滑拟合优度检验及重尾分布比较
A simplified version of the Neyman (1937) “Smooth” goodness-of-fit test is extended to account for the presence of estimated model parameters, thereby removing overfitting bias. Using a Lagrange Multiplier approach rather than the Likelihood Ratio statistic proposed by Neyman greatly simplifies the calculations. Polynomials, splines, and the step function of Pearson’s test are compared as alternative perturbations to the theoretical uniform distribution. The extended tests…
