Abstract
Tiago de Oliveira presented the first paper in a series on statistical choice of univariate extreme models. This paper is a second one in that series. We present formulae for the general mean values and variances and some computer results. We investigated for how small values of the sample size the proposed test statistics may be useful by computer simulations applying the chisquare and Stephens’goodness of fit tests for normality. Some concrete data are further analysed in more detail. We conclude the paper with a general discussion.
