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…
The discrete Pareto (or Zeta, Zipf) distribution, arises naturally in modeling rank-frequency data across diverse fields such as linguistics, demography, biology, and computer science. Despite its widespread applicability, goodness-of-fit…

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…

In the present paper, we develop a new goodness-of-fit test for the Birnbaum- Saunders distribution based on the probability plot. We utilize the sample correlation coefficient from the Birnbaum-Saunders probability plot as a measure of…
We propose new goodness-of-fit tests for the Pareto type I distribution. These tests are based on a multiplicative version of the memoryless property which characterises this distribution. We present the results of a Monte Carlo power study…

This article deals with goodness-of-fit test for the Cauchy distribution. Some tests based on Kullback-Leibler information are proposed, and shown to be consistent. Monte Carlo evidence indicates that the tests have satisfactory…
