Under the simple and composite null hypotheses the asymptotic distribution of these tests is shown to be chi-squared. For composite hypothesis, the unspecified parameters are estimated by maximum likelihood as well as minimum Burbea-Rao divergence.engjournal articlehttp://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0047259X98917997http://www.sciencedirect.com/open access519.21Goodness-of-fitMinimumR Phi-divergence estimatePitman efficiencyPower function.Probabilidades (Matemáticas)
