It is shown that power of test statistic essentially depends on the quantity of Fisher's sample information this statistic uses, and some recommendations on implementing modified chi-squared type tests are given.
Abstract
Some recent results in the theory and applications of modified chi-squared goodness-of-fit tests are briefly discussed. It seems that for the first time power of modified chi-squared type tests for the logistic and three-parameter Weibull distributions based on moment type estimators is studied. Power of different modified tests against some alternatives for equiprobable fixed or random grouping intervals, and for Neyman–Pearson classes is investigated. It is shown that power of test statistic essentially depends on the quantity of Fisher's sample information this statistic uses. Some recommendations on implementing modified chi-squared type tests are given.

Global evaluation of inhibitor impacts on ammonia and nitrous oxide emissions from agricultural soils: A meta‐analysis

TL;DR: In this article , the authors synthesized 182 studies (222 sites) worldwide to evaluate the impacts of inhibitors (urease inhibitors, nitrification inhibitors, and combined inhibitors) on crop yields and gaseous N loss (ammonia [NH3] and nitrous oxide [N2O] emissions) and explored their responses to different management and environmental factors.

Goodness-of-fit tests for the power-generalized weibull probability distribution

TL;DR: Modified chi-squared tests based on maximum likelihood estimators of parameters that are shown to be -consistent are proposed, and it is proposed to use the left-tailed rejection region because these tests are biased with respect to the above alternatives if one will use the right-tailed rejected region.

TL;DR: In this article, a generalized chi-squared test statistic (Y2n) was proposed to fit the survival and reliability data analysis in presence of three cases: complete, censored and censored with covariates.

Assessing Fit of the Lognormal Model for Response Times.

TL;DR: This paper focused on the lognormal model for response times, which is one of the most popular response time models in educational and psychological testing, and used it to evaluate response times.

Theory of Statistical Estimation

TL;DR: It has been pointed out to me that some of the statistical ideas employed in the following investigation have never received a strictly logical definition and analysis, and it is desirable to set out for criticism the manner in which the logical foundations of these ideas may be established.

A Test of Goodness of Fit

TL;DR: The Kolmogorov test as discussed by the authors is a distribution-free test of goodness of fit that is sensitive to discrepancies at the tails of the distribution rather than near the median.

A Guide to Chi-Squared Testing

TL;DR: The Chi-Squared test of Pearson as discussed by the authors was used for a composite hypothesis and the Chi-squared test for an exponential family of distributions was used to test whether a given composite hypothesis is a composite or not.

The Use of Maximum Likelihood Estimates in {\chi^2} Tests for Goodness of Fit

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the test statistic does not have a limiting χ2-distribution, but that it is stochastically larger than would be expected under the χ 2 theory.
