An axiomatic approach is used to develop a one-parameter family of measures of divergence between distributions. These measures can be used to perform goodness-of-fit tests with good statistical ...

Goodness-of-fit testing forms a fundamental pillar in statistical methodology, providing robust tools to assess whether observed data conform to a proposed probability distribution. These tests are ...

We consider models for time-to-event data that allow that an event, e.g., a relapse of a disease, never occurs for a certain percentage p of the population, called the cure rate. We suppose that these ...
