Goodness-of-Fit-Techniques

by RalphB. D'Agostino

Overview

Conveniently grouping methods by techniques, such as chi-squared and empirical distributionfunction , and also collecting methods of testing for specific famous distributions, this usefulreference is the fust comprehensive.review of the extensive literature on the subject. It surveysthe leading methods of testing fit . .. provides tables to make the tests available . .. assessesthe comparative merits of different test procedures . .. and supplies numerical examples to aidin understanding these techniques.Goodness-of-Fit Techniques shows how to apply the techniques . .. emphasizes testing for thethree major distributions, normal, exponential, and uniform . .. discusses the handling of censoreddata .. . and contains over 650 bibliographic citations that cover the field.Illustrated with tables and drawings, this volume is an ideal reference for mathematical andapplied statisticians, and biostatisticians; professionals in applied science fields, including psychologists,biometricians , physicians, and quality control and reliability engineers; advancedundergraduate- and graduate-level courses on goodness-of-fit techniques; and professional seminarsand symposia on applied statistics, quality control, and reliability.

Editorial Reviews

". . .a comprehensive book, well presented and clearly written. "
—-The New Zealand Statistician
". . .Chapters contain some theory but they are mainly directed toward application with some numerical illustrations which generally use simulated sets to be found in the Appendix. . .The level of exposition is generally clear and direct. . .the book should prove useful to practising statisticians. "
—-Short Book Reviews (International Statistical Institute)
". . .the authors have carried out the helpful task of bringing together into a useful reference volume a large amount of material on an interesting topic which has previously been scattered throughout the literature. "
