exp_test_ad {agop}R Documentation

Anderson-Darling Test for Exponentiality

Description

Performs an approximate Anderson-Darling goodness-of-fit test, which verifies the null hypothesis: Data follow an exponential distribution.

Usage

exp_test_ad(x)

Arguments

x

a non-negative numeric vector of data values

Details

Sample size should be not less than 3. Missing values are removed from x before applying the procedure.

The p-value is approximate: its distribution has been estimated by taking 2500000 MC samples. For performance and space reasons, the estimated distribution is recreated by a spline interpolation on a fixed number of points. As a result, the resulting p-value distribution might not necessarily be uniform for p>>0.5.

Value

A list of the class htest is returned, just like in many other testing methods, see, e.g., ks.test.
