In the problem of classical group testing one aims to identify a small subset (of size $d$) diseased individuals/defective items in a large population (of size $n$). This process is based on a minimal number of suitably-designed group tests…

In this work we deal with the problem of fitting an error density to the goodness-of-fit test of the errors in nonlinear autoregressive time series models with stationary $\alpha$-mixing error terms. The test statistic is based on the…

Testing procedures for assessing a parametric regression model with circular response and $\mathbb{R}^d$-valued covariate are proposed and analyzed in this work both for independent and for spatially correlated data. The test statistics are…

We examine the estimation of the Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence and the use of the goodness-of-fit test for multivariate continuous distributions. Our starting point is the maximum entropy principle for Shannon entropy: among all…

We consider a multivariate density model where we estimate the excess mass of the unknown probability density $f$ at a given level $\nu>0$ from $n$ i.i.d. observed random variables. This problem has several applications such as…

Recently there have been many research efforts in developing generative models for self-exciting point processes, partly due to their broad applicability for real-world applications. However, rarely can we quantify how well the generative…

We consider the problem of testing whether a graph's degree distribution belongs to a particular family, such as poisson or scale-free, given that we only observe a sampled subgraph. In particular, we focus on induced subgraph sampling, a…

We present the results of a large number of simulation studies regarding the power of various goodness-of-fit as well as nonparametric two-sample tests for univariate data. This includes both continuous and discrete data. In general no…

We consider the error distribution in functional linear models with scalar response and functional covariate. Different asymptotic expansions of the empirical distribution function and the empirical characteristic function based on…

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…

The Hosmer-Lemeshow (HL) test is a commonly used global goodness-of-fit (GOF) test that assesses the quality of the overall fit of a logistic regression model. In this paper, we give results from simulations showing that the type 1 error…

A sizable amount of goodness-of-fit tests involving functional data have appeared in the last decade. We provide a relatively compact revision of most of these contributions, within the independent and identically distributed framework, by…

In this paper, we revisit the classical goodness-of-fit problems for univariate distributions; we propose a new testing procedure based on a characterisation of the uniform distribution. Asymptotic theory for the simple hypothesis case is…

Multivariate goodness-of-fit and two-sample tests are important components of many nuclear and particle physics analyses. While a variety of powerful methods are available if the dimensionality of the feature space is small, such tests…

In this paper we introduce the idea of partially sorting data to design nonparametric tests. This approach gives rise to tests that are sensitive to both the order and the underlying distribution of the data. We focus in particular on a…

We describe an apparently new measure of multivariate goodness-of-fit between sets of quantitative results from a model (simulation, analytical, or multiple regression), paired with those observed under corresponding conditions from the…

The aim of this paper is to estimate the density f of a random variable X when one has access to independent observations of the sum of K $\ge$ 2 independent copies of X. We provide a constructive estimator based on a suitable definition of…

We propose a new and rather stringent criterion for testing the goodness of fit between a theory and experiment. It is motivated by the paradox that the criterion on \chi^2 for testing a theory is much weaker than the criterion for finding…
