Abstract

Pearson’s original chi-square test for goodness-of-fit has been extended and generalized in various ways to test the composite hypothesis of a certain parametric family {F (x; θ): θ ∈ Θ}. We illustrate in this paper that, for lifetime data that are subject to incomplete observation, a unified approach is available to derive general chi-square tests for parametric families, regardless of the sampling plan for such incomplete data.
