Goodness-of-Fit Tests and Model Validity

"The book contains a great number of the most recent references, is full of new ideas and approaches, original test proposals, graphical representations, examples of real data (mainly from medical science) and useful tables, and it demonstrates clearly how inspiring can the celebrated KP's paper be even after 100 years."

"This unique and interesting volume of 37 articles, commemorating the centennial anniversary of the landmark paper by Karl Pearson (1900) on chi-square goodness-of-fit tests, presents a broad spectrum of papers.... The background history of Pearson's paper is thoroughly covered as well as the fundamentals of this very important topic. These articles, many of them written by renowned experts in this area, discuss modern model validity methods, graphical techniques, recent research in the area of goodness-of-fit tests, and numerous real-life examples. The volume is divided into eight major areas: history and fundamentals, chi-squared tests, goodness-of-fit for parametric distributions, regression and goodness-of-fit tests, goodness-of-fit tests in survival analysis and reliability, graphical methods and general goodness-of-fit tests, model validity in quality of life, and tests of hypothesis and estimation with applications. Highly recommended for upper-division undergraduates through practitioners."
