Abstract

top
The distribution of each member of the family of statistics based on the R φ -divergence for testing goodness-of-fit is a chi-squared to o ( 1 ) (Pardo [pard96]). In this paper a closer approximation to the exact distribution is obtained by extracting the φ -dependent second order component from the o ( 1 ) term.
