Abstract:

The goal of the goodness-of-fit test is to check whether the underlying probability distribution, from which a sample is drawn, differs from a hypothesized distribution. Numerous research papers have been published in this area. The purpose of this paper is to provide a goodness-of-fit test statistic which works for any kinds of censored data formed by order statistics. While the test statistic is developed for testing whether the underlying probability distribution differs from a uniform distribution, the test statistic can be used for checking whether the underlying distribution differs from any hypothesized distribution. Testing uniformity for multivariate case is also addressed in this paper.
