Goodness-of-Fit-Techniques
Overview
Conveniently grouping methods by techniques, such as chi-squared and empirical distribution function, and also collecting methods of testing for specific famous distributions, this useful reference is the first comprehensive review of the extensive literature on the subject. It surveys the leading methods of testing fit, provides tables to make the tests available, assesses the comparative merits of different test procedures, and supplies numerical examples to aid in understanding these techniques.
Contents and Focus
Goodness-of-Fit Techniques shows how to apply the techniques, emphasizes testing for the three major distributions, normal, exponential, and uniform, discusses the handling of censored data, and contains over 650 bibliographic citations that cover the field.
Intended Audience
Illustrated with tables and drawings, this volume is an ideal reference for mathematical and applied statisticians, and biostatisticians; professionals in applied science fields, including psychologists, biometricians, physicians, and quality control and reliability engineers; advanced undergraduate- and graduate-level courses on goodness-of-fit techniques; and professional seminars and symposia on applied statistics, quality control, and reliability.
