Abstract

In the present paper, we develop a new goodness of fit test for gamma distribution based on the fixed point characterization. We use U-Statistics theory to derive the test statistic. We discuss how the right censored observations are incorporated into the proposed test. The asymptotic properties of the test statistics in censored and uncensored cases are studied. We carry out a Monte Carlo simulation study to validate the finite sample performance of the proposed tests. We also illustrate the test procedures using real data sets.
