New data driven score tests for testing goodness of fit of the Poisson distribution are proposed. They are direct applications of the general construction of data driven goodness-of-fit tests for composite hypotheses developed in Inglot et al. 1997. By a simulation study it is shown that these tests perform almost equally well as the best known solutions for standard alternatives and outperform them for more difficult alternatives.
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.
