For testing goodness of fit, we consider a class of U-statistics of overlapping spacings of order two, and investigate their asymptotic properties. The standard U-statistic theory is not directly applicable here as the overlapping spacings…
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),…
A method is presented to construct goodness-of-fit statistics in many dimensions for which the distribution of all possible test results in the limit of an infinite number of data becomes Gaussian if also the number of dimensions becomes…
