WLP.test: GoF tests based on the Laplace transform for the Weibull distribution

Description

Computes the Weibull GoF tests based on the Laplace transform: (CQ) Cabana-Quiroz with the two versions either with the Maximum Likelihood Estimators (MLE) or the Moment Estimators (ME) and (LT) based on the Laplace transform with discretization which has three versions, it can be computed either with the MLE, ME or the Least Squares Estimators (LSE).

Usage

WLP.test(x,type = "CQ",funEstimate="MLE",s1=-1,s2=0.4,mr=100,a=-5,nsim = 200)

Arguments

x

a numeric vector of data values.

type

the type of the test statistic used. "CQ" is the default used test of Cabana and Quiroz and "LT" is the test statistic based on the Laplace transform discretization.

funEstimate

the method used to estimate the two Weibull parameters. "MLE" is the default used method based on the maximum likelihood estimators, "LSE" for the least squares estimators and "ME" for the moment estimators. The test statistic "CQ" can be computed for MLE or ME only.

s1

the first value where the quadratic form of the statistic "CQ" is computed.

s2

the second value where the quadratic form of the statistic "CQ" is computed.

mr

the number of the discretizations done to compute the test "LT"; mr = 100 is the default value recommended.

a

the value of the adjusting parameter used in the statistic "LT"; a = -5 is the default value used.

nsim

an integer specifying the number of replicates used in Monte Carlo.

Value

An object of class htest.
