Testing the goodness of fit of the binomial distribution
Abstract
Using the C(α) procedure of Neyman (1959), we derive teats for the goodness of fit of the binomial distribution which are asymptotically optimal against generalized binomial alternatives proposed by Altham (1978) and Kupper & Haseman (1978). The C(α) tests optimal against correlated binomial alternatives, beta-binomial alternatives and a general class of mixture alternatives suggested by WisniewsM (1968) are shown to be closely related to the binomial variance test. A numerical example is given and the small sample behaviour of the variance test and the C(α) tests is investigated in a Monte Carlo sampling experiment. The asymptotic relative efficiencies of the goodness of fit statistics are examined.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
