Power maps in goodness-of-fit testing

For classical goodness-of-fit tests as well as for their modified versions in case of Type-II right censored data, results of a simulation study are presented, where the powers of the tests under consideration against beta alternatives are illustrated in informative, user-oriented plots that offer the possibility to directly choose the best test statistic in a concrete situation, when some prior belief about the alternative is available. The behavior of powers of respective statistical tests as functions of beta parameters is examined and discussed. Copyright Springer-Verlag 2013
