On the Estimation of Relative Extropy and its Application in Goodness of Fit Tests
摘要
Recently, extropy has emerged as a promising measure of uncertainty in statistical analyses. This article introduces estimators for relative extropy and proposes a novel test statistic based on this measure for conducting goodness-of-fit tests. Specifically, we develop tests tailored to assess normality and exponentiality. Monte Carlo simulations demonstrate that our proposed tests exhibit substantial power, often outperforming traditional methods like the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. We further illustrate their practical utility through applications to two real-world datasets.
