Abstract

The chi-squared type statistic generated from the empirical process can be used for testing the goodness of fit hypothesis on iid random sample. Lee (1995) showed that under some conditions, the chi-squared type statistic is asymptotically maximin in the sense of Strasser (1985). Since the chi-squared type statistic depends on the choice of *points in the unit interval, it is worth investigating the points yielding more efficient tests. Motivated by this viewpoint, we are led to study the asymptotic relative efficiency of chi-squared type tests in the same setting of Lee (1995). Some examples are given for illustration.
