Test for the Pareto Distribution Based on the Transformed Sample Lorenz Curve

  • Published : 2002.05.24

Abstract

A powerful and easily computed goodness-of-fit test for Pareto distribution which does not depend on the unknown location and scale parameters is proposed based on the transformed sample Lorenz curve. We compare the power of the proposed test statistic with the other goodness-of-fit tests for Pareto distribution against various alternatives through Monte Carlo methods.
