Distortion of Probability Models
Original language description
The choice of a suitable model and its description with a probability distribution is at begin of every statistical inference. However, the data do not always follow typical (textbook?s) probability distributions. There is a possible solution of that problem ? to use a distortion function to correct the model. The distortion function is a non-decreasing mapping of the interval [0, 1] into itself. It is a tool to transform distribution functions. This means can be used already at the beginning of the modelling, too. Some useful modifications of goodness-of-fit tests are possible to construct through distortions. In our presentation, we demonstrate some noted distortion functions and their usage. We show examples of suitable distortion function upon thechoice of the model, too.
