Abstract

The multivariate empirical distribution function could be defined when its distribution function can be estimated. It is known that bivariate empirical distribution functions could be visualized by using Step plot and Quantile plot. In this paper, the multivariate empirical distribution plot is proposed to represent the multivariate empirical distribution function on the unit square. Based on many kinds of empirical distribution plots corresponding to various multivariate normal distributions and other specific distributions, it is found that the empirical distribution plot also depends sensitively on its distribution function and correlation coefficients. Hence, we could suggest five goodness-of-fit test statistics. These critical values are obtained by Monte Carlo simulation. We explore that these critical values are not much different from those in text books. Therefore, we may conclude that the proposed test statistics in this work would be used with known critical values with ease.

다변량 자료의 분포함수를 알고 있거나 추정할 수 있으면 다변량 경험분포함수를 정의할 수 있다. 이변량인 경우에는 계단그림과 분위그림을 사용하여 경험분포함수를 시각화할 수 있는데, 본 연구에서는 다변량인 경우에 경험분포함수를 정사각형에 표현할 수 있는 다변량 경험분포그림을 제안하였다. 여러 종류의 다변량 정규분포와 특정한 분포에 대하여 경험분포그림을 작성하고 특징을 살펴보니, 다양한 분산공분산행렬을 포함된 분포함수에 따라 경험분포그림이 민감하게 반응하는 것을 탐색하였다. 이를 바탕으로 경험분포함수를 구할 때 가정한 다변량 분포함수의 적합도 검정방법을 제안하였다. 대표적인 다섯 종류의 적합도 검정방법을 사용하고, 다양한 분포함수들에 대하여 각각의 검정통계량 기각역을 구하였다. 본 연구에서 얻은 기각역은 문헌에서 구할 수 있는 기각역과 큰 차이가 없음을 발견하였다. 그러므로 본 연구에서 제안한 적합도 검정방법을 문헌에서 제시한 기각역으로 쉽게 사용할 수 있는 장점이 있다.
