HK1 {gofIG}R Documentation

The first Henze-Klar test statistic

Description

This function computes the first test statistic of the goodness-of-fit test for the inverse Gaussian family due to Henze and Klar (2002).

Usage

HK1(data, a = 0)

Arguments

data

a vector of positive numbers.

a

positive tuning parameter.

Details

The representation of the first Henze-Klar test statistic used for computation is given by:

HK_{n,a}^{(1)}= \frac{\hat{\varphi}_n}{n} \sum_{j,k=1}^{n} \hat{Z}_{jk}^{-1} \left\{ 1 - (Y_j + Y_k) \left( 1 + \sqrt{\frac{\pi}{2\hat{Z}_{jk}}} \text{erfce}\left( \sqrt{\frac{\hat{Z}_{jk}}{2}} \right) \right) + \left( 1 + \frac{2}{\hat{Z}_{jk}} \right) Y_j Y_k \right\},

with \hat{\varphi}_n = \frac{\hat{\lambda}_n}{\hat{\mu}_n}, where \hat{\mu}_n,\hat{\lambda}_n are the maximum likelihood estimators for \mu and \lambda, respectively, the parameters of the inverse Gaussian distribution. Furthermore \hat{Z}_{jk} = \hat{\varphi}_n(Y_j + Y_k +a), where Y_i = \frac{X_i}{\hat{\mu}_n} for (X_i)_{i = 1,...,n}, a sequence of independent observations of a nonnegative random variable X. To ensure numerical stability of the implementation the exponentially scaled complementary error function \text{erfce}(x) is used: \text{erfce}(x) = \exp{(x^2)}\text{erfc}(x), with \text{erfc}(x) = 2\int_x^\infty \exp{(-t^2)}dt/\pi. The null hypothesis is rejected for large values of the test statistic HK_{n,a}^{(1)}.
