Empirical Distribution Tests Options

Use this window to specify options for Empirical Distribution Tests.

Set options as required then click OK.

Display

Specifies the output to be displayed.

Summary	Displays the parameters of the specified distribution and a description of the test
Tests	Displays results from the selected tests (Anderson-Darling, Cramer-von Mises or Kolmogorov-Smirnov)

Graphics for likelihood ratio tests

When the Goodness-of-fit test statistics use the Likelihood ratio tests option on the menu, two graphs may be plotted.

Histogram	Plot a histogram of the Monte-Carlo simulated test statistics with the observed test statistic marked with a line
Kernel density	Plot a kernel density plot of the Monte-Carlo simulated test statistics with the observed test statistic marked with a line using the KERNELDENSITY procedure

Title

Lets you enter a title for the plots.

Y-axis title

Lets you enter a title for the y-axis.

X-axis title

Lets you enter a title for the x-axis.

Simulations for likelihood ratio tests

These options control the Monte-Carlo simulations when the Goodness-of-fit test statistics use the Likelihood ratio tests option.

Number of simulations

This defines the number of simulations to use when calculating the test probabilities: this must be a positive integer. Using a large value takes longer, but gives a more precise estimate of the probabilities.

Seed

This gives a seed to initialize the random number generation used in the Monte-Carlo simulations. Using zero initializes this from the computer’s clock; specifying a non-zero value gives a repeatable analysis.

Action buttons

OK	Save the option settings and close the dialog.
Cancel	Close the dialog without making any changes.
Defaults	Reset the options to their default settings.
