ks.moew: Test of Kolmogorov-Smirnov for the Marshall-Olkin Extended Exponential(MOEW) distribution

Description

The function ks.moew() gives the values for the KS test assuming a MOEW with shape parameter alpha and tilt parameter lambda. In addition, optionally, this function allows one to show a comparative graph between the empirical and theoretical cdfs for a specified data set.

Usage

ks.moew(x, alpha.est, lambda.est,  alternative = c("less", "two.sided", "greater"), plot = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

x

vector of observations.

alpha.est

estimate of the parameter alpha

lambda.est

estimate of the parameter lambda

alternative

indicates the alternative hypothesis and must be one of "two.sided" (default), "less", or "greater".

plot

Logical; if TRUE, the cdf plot is provided.

...

additional arguments to be passed to the underlying plot function.

Value

ks.moew() carries out the KS test for the MOEW

Details

The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test is a goodness-of-fit technique based on the maximum distance between the empirical and theoretical cdfs.
