statsmodels.stats.gof.powerdiscrepancy(observed, expected, lambd=0.0, axis=0, ddof=0)

Calculates power discrepancy, a class of goodness-of-fit tests as a measure of discrepancy between observed and expected data.

This contains several goodness-of-fit tests as special cases, see the description of lambd, the exponent of the power discrepancy. The pvalue is based on the asymptotic chi-square distribution of the test statistic.

freeman_tukey: D(x|theta) = sum_j (sqrt{x_j} - sqrt{e_j})^2

Parameters

oIterable

Observed values

eIterable

Expected values

lambd{float, str}

• float : exponent a for power discrepancy

• ‘loglikeratio’: a = 0

• ‘freeman_tukey’: a = -0.5

• ‘pearson’: a = 1 (standard chisquare test statistic)

• ‘modified_loglikeratio’: a = -1

• ‘cressie_read’: a = 2/3

• ‘neyman’ : a = -2 (Neyman-modified chisquare, reference from a book?)
