zk.test {DistributionTest} R Documentation

## The analogue ZK of the Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistic

### Description

The new statistics ZK appear similar to the Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistic, but it's generally much more powerful,see Jin Zhang(2002).

### Usage

zk.test(x, y, para = NULL, N = 1000)


### Arguments

 x a numeric vector of data values, the number of which must be greater than 7. Missing values are allowed. y When tested as a single sample, a numeric vector of data values, the number of which must be greater than 7. Missing values are allowed. When tested as two-sample, a character string indicating what type of test was performed. Distributions "unif", "exponential", "normal", "lognormal", "gamma","t" and "weibull" are recognised.Here,the names of "exponential", "normal" and "lognormal" are simplified as "exp" ,"norm" and "lognorm" respectively. para A named list giving the parameters of the distribution specified and this can be omitted. N The number of replications in Monte Carlo simulation.The default value is 1000

### Details

The Zk test is an EDF omnibus test for the composite hypothesis of distribution. The test statistic is

Z_{k}=\max \limits_{1 ≤q i ≤q n}\{(i-0.5)\ln\frac{i-0.5}{nF_{0}(X_{(i)})}+(n-i+0.5)\ln\frac{n-i+0.5}{n[1-F_0(X_{(i)})]}\},

where F_{0}(x) is a hypothesized distribution function to be tested.Here, F_{0}(X_{(i)}) = Φ(x), Φ is the cumulative distribution function of the specificed distribution.The p-value is computed by Monte Carlo simulation.

### Value

A list with class “htest” containing the following components:

 statistic the value of the ZK statistic. p.value  the p-value for the test. method the character string “ZK test for given distribution”. data.name a character string giving the name(s) of the data.

### Note

The Zk test is the recommended EDF test by Jin Zhang.
