β¦ Synopsis
Two problems with the usual X 2 test of ΓΏt for the Poisson distribution are how to pool the data and how much power is lost by this pooling. Smooth tests of ΓΏt as outlined in Rayner and Best (1989) avoid the pooling problems and provide weakly optimal and therefore powerful tests. Power comparisons between X 2 , smooth tests and a modiΓΏed Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistic are given.

Nonhomogeneous Poisson processes (NHPPs) are often used to model failure data from repairable systems, and there is thus a need to check model fit for such models. We study the problem of obtaining exact goodness-of-fit tests for parametric NHPPs. The idea is to use conditional tests given a suffici
