ddst.uniform.test(x, base = ddst.base.legendre, c = 2.4, B = 1000, compute.p = F,
    Dmax = 10, ...)

Arguments

x

a (non-empty) numeric vector of data values.

base

a function which returns orthogonal system, might be ddst.base.legendre for Legendre polynomials or ddst.base.cos for cosine system, see package description.

c

a parameter for model selection rule, see package description.

B

an integer specifying the number of replicates used in p-value computation.

compute.p

a logical value indicating whether to compute a p-value.

Dmax

an integer specifying the maximum number of coordinates, only for advanced users.

...

further arguments.

Details

Embeding null model into the original exponential family introduced by Neyman (1937) leads to the information matrix I being identity and smooth test statistic with k components $W_k=[1/sqrt(n) sum_j=1^k sum_i=1^n phi_j(Z_i)]^2$, where $phi_j$ is jth degree normalized Legendre polynomial on [0,1] (default value of parameter base = ‘ddst.base.legendre’). Alternatively, in our implementation, cosine system can be selected (base = ‘ddst.base.cos’). For details see Ledwina (1994) and Inglot and Ledwina (2006).

An application of the pertaining selection rule T for choosing k gives related ‘ddst.uniform.test()’ based on statistic $W_T$.

Similar approach applies to testing goodness-of-fit to any fully specified continuous distribution function F. For this purpose it is enough to apply the above solution to transformed observations $F(z_1),...,F(z_n)$.

Value

An object of class htest

statistic

the value of the test statistic.

parameter

the number of choosen coordinates (k).

method

a character string indicating the parameters of performed test.

data.name

a character string giving the name(s) of the data.

p.value

the p-value for the test, computed only if compute.p=T.
