We study sequences of scaled edge-corrected empirical (generalized) K-functions (modifying Ripley's K-function) each of them constructed from a single observation of a $d$-dimensional fourth-order stationary point process in a sampling…
We present a new criterion for the goodness of global fits. It involves an exploration of the variation of \chi^2 for subsets of data.
Suppose that a sequence of data points follows a distribution of a certain parametric form, but that one or more of the underlying parameters may change over time. This paper addresses various natural questions in such a framework. We…
In this paper we investigate the problem of testing the assumption of stationarity in locally stationary processes. The test is based on an estimate of a Kolmogorov-Smirnov type distance between the true time varying spectral density and…
The inspection of residuals is a fundamental step to investigate the quality of adjustment of a parametric model to data. For spatial point processes, the concept of residuals has been recently proposed by Baddeley et al. (2005) as an…
Generalized linear models (GLMs) are used within a vast number of application domains. However, formal goodness of fit (GOF) tests for the overall fit of the model$-$so-called "global" tests$-$seem to be in wide use only for certain classes…
This paper proposes a Kolmogorov-Smirnov type statistic and a Cram\'er-von Mises type statistic to test linearity in semi-functional partially linear regression models. Our test statistics are based on a residual marked empirical process…
We develop here several goodness-of-fit tests for testing the k-monotonicity of a discrete density, based on the empirical distribution of the observations. Our tests are non-parametric, easy to implement and are proved to be asymptotically…
Let $(Y,(X_i)_{i\in\mathcal{I}})$ be a zero mean Gaussian vector and $V$ be a subset of $\mathcal{I}$. Suppose we are given $n$ i.i.d. replications of the vector $(Y,X)$. We propose a new test for testing that $Y$ is independent of…
The Newcomb-Benford probability distribution is becoming very popular in many areas using statistics, notably in fraud detection. In such contexts, it is important to be able to determine if a data set arises from this distribution while…
We consider the identity testing problem - or goodness-of-fit testing problem - in multivariate binomial families, multivariate Poisson families and multinomial distributions. Given a known distribution $p$ and $n$ iid samples drawn from an…
A new test of independence between random elements is presented in this article. The test is based on a functional of the Cram\'{e}r-von Mises type, which is applied to a $U$-process that is defined from the recurrence rates. Theorems of…
We use a Stein identity to define a new class of parametric distributions which we call ``independent additive weighted bias distributions.'' We investigate related $L^2$-type discrepancy measures, empirical versions of which not only…
In this paper a new class of uniformity tests is proposed. It is shown that those tests are applicable to the cases of any simple null hypothesis as well as for the composite null hypothesis of rectangular distributions on arbitrary…
Given two candidate models, and a set of target observations, we address the problem of measuring the relative goodness of fit of the two models. We propose two new statistical tests which are nonparametric, computationally efficient…
We consider two division models for structured cell populations, where cells can grow, age and divide. These models have been introduced in the literature under the denomination of `mitosis' and `adder' models. In the recent years, there…
Parametric max-stable processes are increasingly used to model spatial extremes. Starting from the fact that the dependence structure of a max-stable process is completely characterized by an extreme-value copula, a class of goodness-of-fit…
The characterization of covariate effects on model parameters is a crucial step during pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic analyses. While covariate selection criteria have been studied extensively, the choice of the functional relationship…
The analysis of continuously spatially varying processes usually considers two sources of variation, namely, the large-scale variation collected by the trend of the process, and the small-scale variation. Parametric trend models on latitude…
Significant progress has been made in developing identification and estimation techniques for missing data problems where modeling assumptions can be described via a directed acyclic graph. The validity of results using such techniques rely…
