A goodness of fit test for the Pareto distribution

Methodology 2018-06-18 v1

Abstract

The Zenga (1984) inequality curve is constant in p for Type I Pareto distributions. This characterizing behavior will be exploited to obtain graphical and analytical tools for tail analysis and goodness of fit tests. A testing procedure for Pareto-type behavior based on a regression of technique will be introduced.
