Abstract

This paper presents a distribution-free multivariate Kolmogorov-Smirnov goodness-of-fit test. The test uses a statistic which is built using Rosenblatt's transformation and an algorithm is developed to compute it in the bivariate case. An approximate test, that can be easily computed in any dimension, is also presented. The power of these multivariate tests is studied in a simulation study.
