Popis: We give a probabilistic interpretation of the Cramer–von Mises distance between continuous distribution functions F and . If F is unknown, we construct an asymptotic confidence interval for based on a random sample from F. Moreover, for given and some value , we propose an asymptotic equivalence test of the hypothesis that against the alternative . If such a ‘neighbourhood-of- validation test’, carried out at a small asymptotic level, rejects the hypothesis, there is evidence that F is within a distance of . As a neighbourhood-of-exponentiality test shows, the method may be extended to the case that is composite.
