Evaluating the Goodness of Fit of Generalized Nakagami Distribution

Abstract

The Generalized Nakagami distribution is a popular distribution in wireless communication. This distribution includes the Nakagami distribution as a special case. Likelihood ratio, score, and two C(α) tests are developed to evaluate the fit of Nakagami distribution against Generalized Nakagami distribution. A Monte Carlo simulation study is performed in order to investigate the performance of these tests with regard to Type I errors and powers of tests. Finally, two data sets are analyzed using the proposed goodness of fit tests.
