- Description
- In this note smooth tests of fit for a mixture of two Poisson distributions are derived and compared with a traditional Pearson chi-squared test. The tests are illustrated with a classic data set of deaths per day of women over 80 as recorded in the London Times for the years 1910 to 1912.
