Shahabuddin and Kamarulzaman Ibrahim and Abdul Aziz Jemain}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {Many works have been carried out to compare the efficiency of several goodness of fit procedures for identifying whether or not a particular distribution could adequately explain a data set. In this paper a study is conducted to investigate the power of several goodness of fit tests such as Kolmogorov Smirnov (KS), Anderson-Darling(AD), Cramer- von- Mises (CV) and a proposed modification of Kolmogorov-Smirnov goodness of fit test which incorporates a variance stabilizing transformation (FKS). The performances of these selected tests are studied under simple random sampling (SRS) and Ranked Set Sampling (RSS). This study shows that, in general, the Anderson-Darling (AD) test performs better than other GOF tests. However, there are some cases where the proposed test can perform as equally good as the AD test.}, journal = {International Journal of Mathematical and Computational Sciences}, volume = {3}, number = {6}, year = {2009}, pages = {406 - 409}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/9276}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/30}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 30, 2009}, }
