Goodness-of-Fit Tests for Weighted Generalized Quasi-Lindley Distribution Using SRS and RSS with Applications to Real Data

Abstract

This paper deals with the problem of goodness-of-fit tests (GFTs) for the weighted generalized quasi-Lindley distribution (WGQLD) using ranked set sampling (RSS) and simple random sampling (SRS) techniques. The tests are based on the empirical distribution function and sample entropy. These tests include the Kullback–Leibler, Kolomogorov–Smirnov, Anderson–Darling, Cramér–von Mises, Zhang, Liao, and Shimokawa, and Watson tests. The critical values (CV) and power of each test are obtained based on a simulation study by using SRS and RSS methods considering various sample sizes and alternatives. A rain data set is used to investigate the effectiveness of the suggested GFTs. Based on the same number of measured units for the various alternatives taken into consideration in this study, it is discovered that the RSS tests are more effective than those of their rivals in SRS. Additionally, as the set size increases, the GFTs’ power increases.
