GOFlaio2004: Goodness of fit tests

Description

Anderson-Darling goodness of fit tests for extreme-value distributions, from Laio (2004).

Usage

A2_GOFlaio (x, dist="NORM")
 A2 (F)
 W2 (F)
 Fx (x, T, dist="NORM")

Arguments

x

data sample

dist

distribution: normal "NORM", log-normal "LN", Gumbel "EV1", Frechet "EV2", Generalized Extreme Value "GEV", Pearson type III "GAM", log-Pearson type III "LP3"

F

cumulative distribution function

T

parameters (position, scale, shape, ...)

Value

• A2_GOFlaio tests the goodness of fit of a distribution with the sample x; it return the value $A_2$ of the Anderson-Darling statistics and its probability $P(A_2)$. If $P(A_2)$ is, for example, 0.92, the sample shouldn't be considered extracted from the hypothetical parent distribution with significance level greater than 8 A2 is the Anderson-Darling test statistic; it is used by A2_GOFlaio.

  W2 is the Cramer-von Mises test statistic. Fx gives the empirical distribution function F of a sample x, extracted from the distribution dist with parameters T.
