Tests for multivariate normality—a critical review with emphasis on weighted -statistics

B Ebner, N Henze - Test, 2020 - Springer
This article gives a synopsis on new developments in affine invariant tests for multivariate
normality in an iid-setting, with special emphasis on asymptotic properties of several classes …

A new characterization of the Gamma distribution and associated goodness-of-fit tests

S Betsch, B Ebner - Metrika, 2019 - Springer
We propose a class of weighted L^ 2 L 2-type tests of fit to the Gamma distribution. Our novel
procedure is based on a fixed point property of a new transformation connected to a Steinian …

Equivalence Tests for Multinomial Data Based on -Divergences

MV Alba-Fernández, MD Jiménez-Gamero - Trends in Mathematical …, 2022 - Springer
Equivalence tests have received increasing attention in the last years, especially in
experimental applied fields such as Biology, Medicine or Pharmacology. In the statistical …

A test for Gaussianity in Hilbert spaces via the empirical characteristic functional

N Henze, MD Jiménez‐Gamero - Scandinavian Journal of …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Abstract Let X 1, X 2,… be independent and identically distributed random elements taking
values in a separable Hilbert space ℍ. With applications for functional data in mind, ℍ may …

Eigenvalues approximation of integral covariance operators with applications to weighted statistics

B Ebner, MD Jiménez-Gamero, B Milošević - arxiv preprint arxiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
Finding the eigenvalues connected to the covariance operator of a centred Hilbert-space
valued Gaussian process is genuinely considered a hard problem in several mathematical …

Characterizations of multinormality and corresponding tests of fit, including for GARCH models

N Henze, MD Jiménez–Gamero, SG Meintanis - Econometric Theory, 2019 - cambridge.org
We provide novel characterizations of multivariate normality that incorporate both the
characteristic function and the moment generating function, and we employ these results to …

On testing the adequacy of the inverse Gaussian distribution

JS Allison, S Betsch, B Ebner, J Visagie - Mathematics, 2022 - mdpi.com
We propose a new class of goodness-of-fit tests for the inverse Gaussian distribution based
on a characterization of the cumulative distribution function (CDF). The new tests are of …

A new class of tests for multinormality with iid and garch data based on the empirical moment generating function

N Henze, MD Jiménez-Gamero - Test, 2019 - Springer
We generalize a recent class of tests for univariate normality that are based on the empirical
moment generating function to the multivariate setting, thus obtaining a class of affine …

Testing normality via a distributional fixed point property in the Stein characterization

S Betsch, B Ebner - Test, 2020 - Springer
We propose two families of tests for the classical goodness-of-fit problem to univariate
normality. The new procedures are based on L^ 2 L 2-distances of the empirical zero-bias …

A general Monte Carlo method for multivariate goodness–of–fit testing applied to elliptical families

F Chen, MD Jiménez–Gamero, S Meintanis… - Computational Statistics & …, 2022 - Elsevier
A general and relatively simple method for construction of multivariate goodness–of–fit tests
is introduced. The proposed test is applied to elliptical distributions. The method is based on …
