In this work, the distributional properties of the goodness-of-fit term in likelihood-based information criteria are explored. These properties are then leveraged to construct a novel goodness-of-fit test for normal linear regression models…
We propose and analyse a novel nonparametric goodness of fit testing procedure for exchangeable exponential random graph models (ERGMs) when a single network realisation is observed. The test determines how likely it is that the observation…
Data depth provides a centre-outward ordering for multivariate data. Recently, some univariate GoF tests based on data depth have been studied by Li (2018). This paper discusses some univariate goodness of fit tests based on centre-outward…
The degrees are a classical and relevant way to study the topology of a network. They can be used to assess the goodness-of-fit for a given random graph model. In this paper we introduce goodness-of-fit tests for two classes of models.…
A survey of goodness-of-fit and symmetry tests based on the characterization properties of distributions is presented. This approach became popular in recent years. In most cases the test statistics are functionals of $U$-empirical…
Goodness-of-fit (GoF) tests are a fundamental component of statistical practice, essential for checking model assumptions and testing scientific hypotheses. Despite their widespread use, popular GoF tests exhibit surprisingly low…

In many applications, we encounter data on Riemannian manifolds such as torus and rotation groups. Standard statistical procedures for multivariate data are not applicable to such data. In this study, we develop goodness-of-fit testing and…
