Abstract

This paper addresses the problem of testing goodness-of-fit for several important multivariate distributions: (I) Uniform distribution on p-dimensional unit sphere; (II) multivariate standard normal distribution; and (III) multivariate normal distribution with unknown mean vector and covariance matrix. The average projection type weighted Cramér-von Mises test statistic as well as estimated and weighted Cramér-von Mises statistics for testing distributions (I), (II) and (III) are constructed via integrating projection direction on the unit sphere, and the asymptotic distributions and the expansions of those test statistics under the null hypothesis are also obtained. Furthermore, the approach of this paper can be applied to testing goodness-of-fit for elliptically contoured distributions.
