<p>Goodness-of-fit tests based on the characteristic function <br>
</p>
<p>Maria Dolores Jimenez-Gamero, University of Seville <br>
</p>
<p>A classical problem in Statistics is that of checking if the law
of the data belongs to a certain parametric family of
distributions (the null hypothesis), which is usually called the
goodness-of-fit (GoF) problem. A usual strategy to test GoF
consists in comparing a nonparametric estimator of a function
characterizing the data distribution to a parametric estimator of
such function, constructed by assuming that the null hypothesis is
true. A common choice for that function is the distribution
function, although other choices are possible. In this talk, we
review GoF tests based on the characteristic function, putting
special emphasis on testing normality.</p>
