In [14], Sanov proved that if FN is the empirical cumulative distribution function (cdf) of a sample drawn from a population whose true cdf is F0 and Ω is a set of cdf's which satisfies certain ...

A P-P plot compares the empirical cumulative distribution function (ecdf) of a variable with a specified theoretical cumulative distribution function F(·). The ecdf, denoted by F n (x), is defined as ...

New goodness-of-fit measures which are significant improvements on existing measures are described. They use the intuitive geometrical concept of the area enclosed by the curve of a fitted ...

Customer requirements dictate that the breaking strengths in the previous example have upper and lower specification limits of 7.2 and 6.8 psi, respectively. Moreover, less than 5% of the cords can ...

After publication of an earlier version of this paper, we received feedback that there were several incorrect references to related methods in the literature. These errors are corrected in the current ...
