In this article, we use a new cdf estimator to obtain a nanparametric entropy estimate and use it for testing exponentiality and normality. We also use the new cdf estimator to estimate the joint entropy of the Type II censored data which we use for some goodness-of-fit tests based on Kullback-Leibler information and show, by simulation, that it compares favorably with the leading competitor.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
