TLDR
In this article, a general method for calculating the limiting distributions of these criteria is developed by reducing them to corresponding problems in stochastic processes, which in turn lead to more or less classical eigenvalue and boundary value problems for special classes of differential equations.Abstract:
The statistical problem treated is that of testing the hypothesis that $n$ independent, identically distributed random variables have a specified continuous distribution function $F(x)$. If $F_n(x)$ is the empirical cumulative distribution function and $\psi(t)$ is some nonnegative weight function $(0 \leqq t \leqq 1)$, we consider $n^{\frac{1}{2}} \sup_{-\infty<x<\infty} \{| F(x) - F_n(x) | \psi^\frac{1}{2}\lbrack F(x) \rbrack\}$ and $n\int^\infty_{-\infty}\lbrack F(x) - F_n(x) \rbrack^2 \psi\lbrack F(x)\rbrack dF(x).$ A general method for calculating the limiting distributions of these criteria is developed by reducing them to corresponding problems in stochastic processes, which in turn lead to more or less classical eigenvalue and boundary value problems for special classes of differential equations. For certain weight functions including $\psi = 1$ and $\psi = 1/\lbrack t(1 - t) \rbrack$ we give explicit limiting distributions. A table of the asymptotic distribution of the von Mises $\omega^2$ criterion is given.read more

Are farmers in low-rainfall cropping regions under-fertilising with nitrogen? A risk analysis
TL;DR: In this paper, a combination of crop simulation, probability theory, profit function and finance techniques was used to quantify the trade-offs between magnitude and variability in net returns, and they concluded that variable fertiliser rates based on soil-specific management zones have the potential to not only increase profit but reduce risk.
