Canonical analysis: a review with applications in ecology

R Gittins - 2012 - books.google.com
Relationships between sets of variables of different kinds are of interest in many branches of
science. The question of the analysis of relationships of this sort has nevertheless rather …

A multivariate Kolmogorov-Smirnov test of goodness of fit

A Justel, D Peña, R Zamar - Statistics & probability letters, 1997 - Elsevier
This paper presents a distribution-free multivariate Kolmogorov-Smirnov goodness-of-fit test.
The test uses a statistic which is built using Rosenblatt's transformation and an algorithm is …

An appraisal and bibliography of tests for multivariate normality

CJ Mecklin, DJ Mundfrom - International Statistical Review, 2004 - Wiley Online Library
This paper is a review of many of the dozens of procedures currently available for testing a
data set for goodness‐of‐fit to the multivariate normal distribution. A majority of the …

GS Fishman, LR Moore - Journal of the American Statistical …, 1982 - Taylor & Francis
This article presents the results of empirically testing 16 alternative multipliers for a
multiplicative congruential random number generator with modulus 231—1. Two of the …

The univariate weak convergence theorem of Murota and Takeuchi (1981) is extended for
the Mahalanobis transform of the $ d $-variate empirical characteristic function, $ d\geq 1 …

An empirical goodness-of-fit test for multivariate distributions

MP McAssey - Journal of Applied Statistics, 2013 - Taylor & Francis

probability model is suitable to describe the underlying distribution of a set of observations …

Ch. 24. Goodness-of-fit tests for univariate and multivariate normal models

DK Srivastava, GS Mudholkar - Handbook of statistics, 2003 - Elsevier
The assumption of univariate and multivariate normality is implicit in most of the statistical
procedures routinely used in the analysis of univariate and multivariate data. Now it is well …

Tests for multivariate normality with Pearson alternatives

A Bera, S John - Communications in Statistics-Theory and Methods, 1983 - Taylor & Francis
We consider a multivariate Pearson family of distributions. Certain parametric restrictions
lead to the multivariate normal distribution. Using this fact we propose a number of …

Generalized Cramér–von Mises goodness-of-fit tests for multivariate distributions

SN Chiu, KI Liu - Computational Statistics & Data Analysis, 2009 - Elsevier
A class of statistics for testing the goodness-of-fit for any multivariate continuous distribution
