Abstract
enGoodness‐of‐fit tests based on the Cramér‐von Mises statistics are given for the Poisson distribution. Power comparisons show that these statistics, particularly A2, give good overall tests of fit. The statistic A2 will be particularly useful for detecting distributions where the variance is close to the mean, but which are not Poisson.
Abstract
frNous présentons ici des tests de validité de l'ajustement fondés sur les statistiques de Cramér‐von Mises pour la distribution Poisson. Des comparaisons de pouvoir démontrent que ces statistiques, et particulièrement A2 donnent en général de bons tests de l'ajustement. La statistique A2 sera particulièrement utile pour détecter des distributions où la variance est proche de la moyenne, mais qui ne sont pas Poisson.
