- Description
- Smooth tests for the logarithmic distribution are compared with three tests: the first is a test due to Epps and is based on a probability generating function, the second is the Anderson-Darling test, and the third is due to Klar and is based on the empirical integrated distribution function. These tests all have substantially better power than the traditional Pearson-Fisher X² test of fit for the logarithmic. These traditional chi-squared tests are the only logarithmic tests of fit commonly applied by ecologists and other scientists.
