Watson's U N 2 statistic for a discrete distribution
离散分布下的Watson拟合优度统计量
A general method is given for obtaining approximate percentiles of the asymptotic distribution of Watson's UN2 for testing goodness of fit to a completely specified discrete distribution. The method is applied to a particular distribution arising in data on seasonal incidence. Monte Carlo simulations give estimates of percentiles which are generally consistent with those obtained by the approximate method. The asymptotic results approximate well for sample sizes as small as…
