GOF test using L-moment-ratios diagram (LMRD) Concept of identifying appropriate distributions using moment-ratio diagrams (MRD). Product-moment-ratio diagram (PMRD) L-moment-ratio diagram (LMRD) Two-parameter distributions Normal, Gumbel (EV-1), etc. Three-parameter distributions Log-normal, Pearson type III, GEV, etc. 11/18/2018 Lab for Remote Sensing Hydrology and Spatial Modeling, Dept. of Bioenvironmental Systems Eng., NTU

Moment ratios are unique properties of probability distributions and sample moment ratios of ordinary skewness and kurtosis have been used for selection of probability distribution. The L-moments uniquely define the distribution if the mean of the distribution exists, and the L-skewness and L-kurtosis are much less biased than the ordinary skewness and kurtosis. 11/18/2018 Lab for Remote Sensing Hydrology and Spatial Modeling, Dept. of Bioenvironmental Systems Eng., NTU

A two-parameter distribution with a location and a scale parameter plots as a single point on the LMRD, whereas a three-parameter distribution with location, scale and shape parameters plots as a curve on the LMRD, and distributions with more than one shape parameter generally are associated with regions on the diagram. However, theoretical points or curves of various probability distributions on the LMRD cannot accommodate for uncertainties induced by parameter estimation using random samples. 11/18/2018 Lab for Remote Sensing Hydrology and Spatial Modeling, Dept. of Bioenvironmental Systems Eng., NTU

Even though joint distribution of the ordinary sample skewness and sample kurtosis is asymptotically normal, such asymptotic property is a poor approximation in small and moderately samples, particularly when the underlying distribution is even moderately skew. 11/18/2018 Lab for Remote Sensing Hydrology and Spatial Modeling, Dept. of Bioenvironmental Systems Eng., NTU

Establishing acceptance region for L-moment ratios The standard normal and standard Gumbel distributions (zero mean and unit standard deviation) are used to exemplify the approach for construction of acceptance regions for L-moment ratio diagram. L-moment-ratios ( , ) of the normal and Gumbel distributions are respectively (0, 0.1226) and (0.1699, 0.1504). 11/18/2018 Lab for Remote Sensing Hydrology and Spatial Modeling, Dept. of Bioenvironmental Systems Eng., NTU

Stochastic simulation of the normal and Gumbel distributions For either of the standard normal and standard Gumbel distribution, a total of 100,000 random samples were generated with respect to the specified sample size20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 75, 100, 150, 250, 500, and 1,000. For each of the 100,000 samples, sample L-skewness and L-kurtosis were calculated using the probability-weighted-moment estimator and the plotting-position estimator. 11/18/2018 Lab for Remote Sensing Hydrology and Spatial Modeling, Dept. of Bioenvironmental Systems Eng., NTU

For both distribution types, the joint distribution of sample L-skewness and L-kurtosis seem to resemble a bivariate normal distribution for a larger sample size (n = 100). However, for sample size n = 20, the joint distribution of sample L-skewness and L-kurtosis seems to differ from the bivariate normal. Particularly for Gumbel distribution, sample L-moments of both estimators are positively skewed. 11/18/2018 Lab for Remote Sensing Hydrology and Spatial Modeling, Dept. of Bioenvironmental Systems Eng., NTU

For smaller sample sizes (n = 20 and 50), the distribution cloud of sample L-moment-ratios estimated by the plotting-position method appears to have its center located away from ( , ), an indication of biased estimation. However, for sample size n = 100, the bias is almost unnoticeable, suggesting that the bias in L-moment-ratio estimation using the plotting-position estimator is negligible for larger sample sizes. 11/18/2018 Lab for Remote Sensing Hydrology and Spatial Modeling, Dept. of Bioenvironmental Systems Eng., NTU

By contrast, the distribution cloud of the sample L-moment-ratios estimated by the probability-weighted-moment method appears to have its center almost coincide with ( , ). 11/18/2018 Lab for Remote Sensing Hydrology and Spatial Modeling, Dept. of Bioenvironmental Systems Eng., NTU

Mardia test for bivariate normality of sample L-skewness and L-kurtosis 11/18/2018 Lab for Remote Sensing Hydrology and Spatial Modeling, Dept. of Bioenvironmental Systems Eng., NTU

It appears that the assumption of bivariate normal distribution for sample L-skewness and L-kurtosis of both distributions is valid for moderate to large sample sizes. However, for random samples of normal distribution with sample size , the bivariate normal assumption may not be adequate. Similarly, the bivariate normal assumption for sample L-skewness and L-kurtosis of the Gumbel distribution may not be adequate for sample size . 11/18/2018 Lab for Remote Sensing Hydrology and Spatial Modeling, Dept. of Bioenvironmental Systems Eng., NTU

Establishing acceptance regions for LMRD-based GOF tests For moderate to large sample sizes, the sample L-skewness and L-kurtosis of both the normal and Gumbel distributions have asymptotic bivariate normal distributions. Using this property, the acceptance region of a GOF test based on sample L-skewness and L-kurtosis can be determined by the equiprobable density contour of the bivariate normal distribution with its encompassing area equivalent to . Difference between the acceptance region and confidence region Confidence region (interval) of a parameter, for example, population mean Acceptance region of a test statistic, for example, sample mean 11/18/2018 Lab for Remote Sensing Hydrology and Spatial Modeling, Dept. of Bioenvironmental Systems Eng., NTU

The probability density function of a multivariate normal distribution is generally expressed by The probability density function depends on the random vector X only through the quadratic form which has a chi-square distribution with p degrees of freedom. 11/18/2018 Lab for Remote Sensing Hydrology and Spatial Modeling, Dept. of Bioenvironmental Systems Eng., NTU

Therefore, probability density contours of a multivariate normal distribution can be expressed by for any constant . For a bivariate normal distribution (p=2) the above equation represents an equiprobable ellipse, and a set of equiprobable ellipses can be constructed by assigning to c for various values of . 11/18/2018 Lab for Remote Sensing Hydrology and Spatial Modeling, Dept. of Bioenvironmental Systems Eng., NTU

Consequently, the acceptance region of a GOF test based on the sample L-skewness and L-kurtosis is expressed by where is the upper quantile of the distribution at significance level . 11/18/2018 Lab for Remote Sensing Hydrology and Spatial Modeling, Dept. of Bioenvironmental Systems Eng., NTU

For bivariate normal random vector , the density contour of can also be expressed as However, the expected values and covariance matrix of sample L-skewness and L-kurtosis are unknown and can only be estimated from random samples generated by stochastic simulation. 11/18/2018 Lab for Remote Sensing Hydrology and Spatial Modeling, Dept. of Bioenvironmental Systems Eng., NTU

The Hotelling’s T2 statistic Thus, in construction of the equiprobable ellipses, population parameters must be respectively replaced by their sample estimates . The Hotelling’s T2 statistic 11/18/2018 Lab for Remote Sensing Hydrology and Spatial Modeling, Dept. of Bioenvironmental Systems Eng., NTU

The Hotelling’s T2 is distributed as a multiple of an F-distribution, i.e., For large N, Therefore, the distribution of the Hotelling’s T2 can be well approximated by the chi-square distribution with degree of freedom 2. 11/18/2018 Lab for Remote Sensing Hydrology and Spatial Modeling, Dept. of Bioenvironmental Systems Eng., NTU

Thus, if the sample L-moments of a random sample of size n falls outside of the corresponding ellipse, i.e. the null hypothesis that the random sample is originated from a normal or Gumbel distribution is rejected. 11/18/2018 Lab for Remote Sensing Hydrology and Spatial Modeling, Dept. of Bioenvironmental Systems Eng., NTU

Empirical relationships between parameters of acceptance regions and sample size Since the 95% acceptance regions of the proposed GOF tests are dependent on the sample size n, it is therefore worthy to investigate the feasibility of establishing empirical relationships between the 95% acceptance region and the sample size. Such empirical relationships can be established using the following regression model 11/18/2018 Lab for Remote Sensing Hydrology and Spatial Modeling, Dept. of Bioenvironmental Systems Eng., NTU

Empirical relationships between the sample size and parameters of the bivariate distribution of sample L-skewness and L-kurtosis 11/18/2018 Lab for Remote Sensing Hydrology and Spatial Modeling, Dept. of Bioenvironmental Systems Eng., NTU

Empirical relationships between the sample size and parameters of the bivariate distribution of sample L-skewness and L-kurtosis 11/18/2018 Lab for Remote Sensing Hydrology and Spatial Modeling, Dept. of Bioenvironmental Systems Eng., NTU

Example Suppose that a random sample of size n = 44 is available, and the plotting-position sample L-skewness and L-kurtosis are calculated as ( , ) = (0.214, 0.116). We want to test whether the sample is originated from the Gumbel distribution. 11/18/2018 Lab for Remote Sensing Hydrology and Spatial Modeling, Dept. of Bioenvironmental Systems Eng., NTU

From the regression models for plotting-position estimators, we find to be respectively 0.1784, 0.1369, 0.005119, 0.002924, and 0.6039. The Hotelling’s T2 is then calculated as 0.9908. The value of T2 is much smaller than the threshold value 11/18/2018 Lab for Remote Sensing Hydrology and Spatial Modeling, Dept. of Bioenvironmental Systems Eng., NTU

The null hypothesis that the random sample is originated from the Gumbel distribution is not rejected. 11/18/2018 Lab for Remote Sensing Hydrology and Spatial Modeling, Dept. of Bioenvironmental Systems Eng., NTU

95% acceptance regions of L-moments-based GOF test for the normal distribution Acceptance ellipses corresponding to various sample sizes (n = 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 75, 100, 150, 250, 500, and 1,000). 11/18/2018 Lab for Remote Sensing Hydrology and Spatial Modeling, Dept. of Bioenvironmental Systems Eng., NTU

Acceptance ellipses corresponding to various sample sizes (n = 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 75, 100, 150, 250, 500, and 1,000). 11/18/2018 Lab for Remote Sensing Hydrology and Spatial Modeling, Dept. of Bioenvironmental Systems Eng., NTU

Validity check of the LMRD acceptance regions The sample-size-dependent confidence intervals established using empirical relationships described in the last section are further checked for their validity. This is done by stochastically generating 10,000 random samples for both the standard normal and Gumbel distributions, with sample size20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 75, 100, 150, 250, 500, and 1,000. 11/18/2018 Lab for Remote Sensing Hydrology and Spatial Modeling, Dept. of Bioenvironmental Systems Eng., NTU

11/18/2018 Lab for Remote Sensing Hydrology and Spatial Modeling, Dept. of Bioenvironmental Systems Eng., NTU

For validity of the sample-size-dependent 95% acceptance regions, the rejection rate should be very close to the level of significance ( 0.05) or the acceptance rate be very close to 0.95. 11/18/2018 Lab for Remote Sensing Hydrology and Spatial Modeling, Dept. of Bioenvironmental Systems Eng., NTU

Establishing acceptance regions for L-moments based goodness-of-fit tests for the Pearson type III distribution 11/18/2018 Lab for Remote Sensing Hydrology and Spatial Modeling, Dept. of Bioenvironmental Systems Eng., NTU

Establishing LMRD acceptance regions for three-parameter distributions is more complicated than that for normal and Gumbel distributions. For a two-parameter distribution with a location and a scale parameter, there exists a unique point characterizing its LMRD. Whereas for a three-parameter distribution with location, scale and shape parameters, the LMRD plots as a curve and each point on the curve represents a valid parameter vector. 11/18/2018 Lab for Remote Sensing Hydrology and Spatial Modeling, Dept. of Bioenvironmental Systems Eng., NTU

Following the same concept of establishing acceptance region for the normal distribution, it appears that the acceptance region for L-moments based GOF test of a three-parameter distribution will vary with sample size and the L-skewness. 11/18/2018 Lab for Remote Sensing Hydrology and Spatial Modeling, Dept. of Bioenvironmental Systems Eng., NTU
