      A maximum entropy type test of fit 

      Lee, S.-J.; Vonta, Filia; Karagrigoriou, Alex (2011)
      In this paper, we propose a test of fit based on maximum entropy. The asymptotic distribution of the proposed test statistic is established and a corrected form for small and medium sample sizes is furnished. The performance ...
