Abstract

In this paper we propose the Directed Goodness of Fit (DGoF) test and the Directed test of Homogeneity (DHom). These types of tests are constructed based on a particular type of discrepancy measures called weighted (or directed) divergences. These measures allow the researcher to focus on specific subsets of the support without, at the same time, losing the information of the others. The performance of the proposed tests examined for a variety of distributions via extensive Monte Carlo simulations. Also, comparisons with the most known tests in the literature are placed to validate the usefulness of the proposed results. Finally, we achieve significantly more powerful tests as compared to the classical ones with comparable error rates.
