Fractional Entropy-Based Test of Uniformity with Power Comparisons

In the present paper, we use the fractional and weighted cumulative residual entropy measures to test the uniformity. The limit distribution and an approximation of the distribution of the test statistic based on the fractional cumulative residual entropy are derived. Moreover, for this test statist...

Description
Summary:In the present paper, we use the fractional and weighted cumulative residual entropy measures to test the uniformity. The limit distribution and an approximation of the distribution of the test statistic based on the fractional cumulative residual entropy are derived. Moreover, for this test statistic, percentage points and power against seven alternatives are reported. Finally, a simulation study is carried out to compare the power of the proposed tests and other tests of uniformity.
