The Zenga (1984) inequality curve is constant in p for Type I Pareto distributions. We show that this property holds exactly only for the Pareto distribution and, asymptotically, for distributions with power tail with index -a, with a…

This paper proposes a goodness of fit test for the generalized Pareto distribution (GPD). Firstly, we provide two characterizations of GPD based on Stein's identity and dynamic survival extropy. These characterizations are used to test GPD…

We introduce a new goodness-of-fit test for count data on $\mathbb{N}$ for the Zeta distribution with unknown parameter. The test is built on a Stein-type characterization that uses, as Stein operator, the infinitesimal generator of a…

We consider the problem of goodness-of-fit testing for a model that has at least one unknown parameter that cannot be eliminated by transformation. Examples of such problems can be as simple as testing whether a sample consists of…

A multivariate distribution function F is in the max-domain of attraction of an extreme value distribution if and only if this is true for the copula corresponding to F and its univariate margins. Aulbach et al. (2012a) have shown that a…
