A quantile function based analog to Neyman's smooth tests for goodness-of-fit hypotheses is developed. These procedures possess asymptotic and small-sample power properties similar to those for smooth ...
A smooth alternative to the conventional sample quantile function as a nonparametric estimator of a population quantile function is proposed. The proposed estimator is essentially a kernel type of ...
A compound Poisson distribution is the sum of independent and identically distributed random variables over a count variable that follows a Poisson distribution. Generally, this distribution is not ...
