A New Approach to Testing Goodness of Fit for Censored Samples

A new approach is proposed for testing goodness of fit for censored samples. A transformation is applied so that the transformed censored sample behaves under the null hypothesis like a complete sample from the uniform (0,1) distribution. Any standard goodness-of-fit test can then be applied using existing tables. Empirical comparisons indicate that the proposed technique provides better overall power than other existing methods.
