We examine the estimation of the Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence and the use of the goodness-of-fit test for multivariate continuous distributions. Our starting point is the maximum entropy principle for Shannon entropy: among all…
Complex data are often represented as a graph, which in turn can often be viewed as a realisation of a random graph, such as an inhomogeneous random graph model (IRG). For general fast goodness-of-fit tests in high dimensions, kernelised…
One of the most fundamental problems in distribution testing is the identity testing problem: given samples $x_1,\ldots,x_s$, the goal is to determine whether the samples are drawn from a target distribution $\mathcal{D}$. When…
We analyze in detail the two-dimensional Kolmogorov-Smirnov test as a tool to learn about the distribution of the sources of the ultra-high energy cosmic rays. We confront in particular models based on AGN observed in X rays, on galaxies…
Data assimilation is the process of estimating the state of a dynamical system over time by combining model predictions with measurements. This task becomes challenging when the system is nonlinear and high-dimensional. To address this,…
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…
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…
A multivariate signal denoising method is proposed which employs a novel multivariate goodness of fit (GoF) test that is applied at multiple data scales obtained from discrete wavelet transform (DWT). In the proposed multivariate GoF test,…

In generalized extreme value model for the r largest order statistics, denoted by rGEV, the selection of r is critical. The existing entropy difference test for selecting r is applicable to large sample. Another existing method (the score…
In this paper new two-dimensional goodness of fit tests are proposed. They are of supremum-type and are based on different types of characterizations. For the first time a characterization based on independence of two statistics is used for…
We propose a new omnibus goodness-of-fit test based on trigonometric moments of probability-integral-transformed data. The test builds on the framework of the LK test introduced by Langholz and Kronmal [J. Amer. Statist. Assoc. 86 (1991),…
Exact null distributions of goodness-of-fit test statistics are generally challenging to obtain in tractable forms. Practitioners are therefore usually obliged to rely on asymptotic null distributions or Monte Carlo methods, either in the…
