We consider the problem of the construction of the Goodness-of-Fit test in the case of continuous time observations of a diffusion process with small noise. The null hypothesis is parametric and we use a minimum distance estimator of the…
We consider the problem of testing the equality of conditional distributions of a response variable given a vector of covariates between two populations. Such a hypothesis testing problem can be motivated from various machine learning and…
We introduce the \textit{almost goodness-of-fit} test, a procedure to assess whether a (parametric) model provides a good representation of the probability distribution generating the observed sample. Specifically, given a distribution…
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…
We consider a linear regression model and propose an omnibus test to simultaneously check the assumption of independence between the error and the predictor variables, and the goodness-of-fit of the parametric model. Our approach is based…
Conformal testing is a way of testing the IID assumption based on conformal prediction. The topic of this note is computational evaluation of the performance of conformal testing in a model situation in which IID binary observations…
Among the various models designed for dependent count data, integer-valued autoregressive (INAR) processes enjoy great popularity. Typically, statistical inference for INAR models uses asymptotic theory that relies on rather stringent…
This paper discusses asymptotically distribution free tests for the classical goodness-of-fit hypothesis of an error distribution in nonparametric regression models. These tests are based on the same martingale transform of the residual…
We apply the method of Hankel transforms to develop goodness-of-fit tests for gamma distributions with given shape parameter and unknown rate parameter, thereby extending results of Baringhaus and Taherizadeh (2010) on the exponential…
This paper studies computational aspects of an asymptotically distribution-free goodness-of-fit test for non-Gaussian distributions based on the Khmaladze martingale transformation when the location and scale parameters of the distribution…
We describe a test statistic for unbinned goodness-of-fit of data in one dimension. The statistic is based on the two-dimensional Random Walk. The rejection power of this test is explored both for simple and compound hypotheses and, for the…

Traditionally, the Dirichlet-multinomial distribution has been recognized as a key model for contingency tables generated by cluster sampling schemes. There are, however, other possible distributions appropriate for these contingency…
A fundamental and often final step in time series modeling is to assess the quality of fit of a proposed model to the data. Since the underlying distribution of the innovations that generate a model is often not prescribed, goodness-of-fit…
Spatial point processes are used as models in many different fields ranging from ecology and forestry to cosmology and materials science. In recent years, model validation, and in particular goodness-of-fit testing of a proposed point…
Performance of classifiers is often measured in terms of average accuracy on test data. Despite being a standard measure, average accuracy fails in characterizing the fit of the model to the underlying conditional law of labels given the…

We introduce tests for the goodness of fit of point patterns via methods from topological data analysis. More precisely, the persistent Betti numbers give rise to a bivariate functional summary statistic for observed point patterns that is…
