Abstract
In this article, we consider Crámer–von Mises type goodness-of-fit statistics for the Generalized Pareto law. The tests involve a certain transformation of the original observations, which, at least in the case of completely specified null distribution, may be viewed as transforming to uniformity and comparing the resulting moments of arbitrary positive order to those of a uniform distribution. The method is shown to be consistent, and the asymptotic null distribution of the test statistic is derived. Simulation results indicate that the proposed test compares well with standard methods based on the empirical distribution function.
