Statistical power of the Lilliefors test: how to compare results for samples of different sizes?
The power of the Lilliefors test (LT) strongly depends on the sample size.
I need to apply LT to a discrete distribution to find the minimum value m_min above which it is exponential.
I need to do it ...

Simulating p-value statistics for Liliefors test (Python statsmodels)
Python statsmodels has an implementation of Lilliefors' test for goodness of fit (i.e. if the parameters of the distribution were obtained from fitting the data and not per-determined as in the ...

Goodness Of Fit Testing When Multiple Parameters Are Estimated
I am working with independent data points $X_1,...,X_N$ each of which, under my model assumptions, is a sum of exponential waiting times with different rates, and so should come from gamma ...

How can one compute Lilliefors' test for arbitrary distributions?
My question is actually a follow-up to Glen_b's answer to the question "Simulation of KS-test with estimated parameters."
I am mostly interested on how to compute Lilliefors' test (or, more exactly, ...

KS test for normality on residuals from OLS vs. MLE
This is a conceptual issue. Suppose, one wants to test the residuals $e_t$ from the regression for normality. So, he runs the regression, obtains the estimates of error variance $\sigma^2$, and forms ...

Adapt Kolmogorov-Smirnov Test to Lilliefors Test
I'm using EasyFit to fit distributions to a sample of data and test with the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test whether the null hypothesis may be rejected or not.
But as this test estimates the parameters from ...

What is this trick with adding 1 here?
I was looking at this page on Lillefors test's Monte Carlo implementation. I don't understand this sentence:
There is random error in this calculation from the simulation.
However, because of the ...

Help understanding the results of the Lilliefors test
I have a set of annual rainfall data for Thailand which is gridded, so I have approximately 30x18 grid squares. I am trying to test whether the gamma distribution is suitable for my data, so I am ...

Simulation of KS-test with estimated parameters
We know that the original KS-test has a limitation, requiring the Null hypothesis testing underlying distribution to be fully specified, rather than estimated. But in practice, we usually need to test ...
