Popis: | The methods discussed in Chapters 12, 13, and 16 are very powerful if the underlying distributions are close to normal. If the distributions of errors of the points on a curve, for example, are not normal and have long tails, then, as we noted in Chapter 13, estimates of goodness of fit may be seriously biased. The tests discussed in this chapter tend to be robust, with results which are independent of the particular distribution being tested. |
