CM: statistic of the Cramer-von Mises goodness-of-fit test for the gamma family
Description
This function computes the goodness-of-fit test statistic for the gamma family in the spirit of Cramer and von Mises. Note that this tests the composite hypothesis of fit to the family of gamma distributions, i.e. a bootstrap procedure is implemented to perform the test, see crit.values.
Usage
CM(data, k_estimator)
Arguments
data
a vector of positive numbers. NOTE: data has to be the rescaled data, i.e. devided by the estimated scale parameter!
k_estimator
value of the estimated shape parameter.
Value
value of the test statistic
Details
The Cram<U+00E9>r-von Mises test is computed as described in Henze et. al. (2012). Values of k_estimator are found by gamma_est.
