We propose a quantification of the p-p plot that assigns equal weight to all distances between the respective distributions: the surface between the p-p plot and the diagonal. This surface is labelled the Harmonic Weighted Mass (HWM) index. We introduce the diagonal-deviation (d-d) plot that...

We derive the exact finite sample distribution of the <I>L<SUB>1</SUB></I>-version ofthe Fisz-Cramér-von Mises test statistic (<I>L<SUB>1</SUB></I>-FCvM). We first characterizethe set of all distinct sample p-p plots for two balanced sampleof size <I>n</I> absent ties. Next, we order this set according to the correspondingvalue of...</i></i></sub></i></sub></i>

P-p plots contain all the information that is needed for scale-invariant comparisons. Indeed, Empirical Distribution Function (EDF) tests translate sample p-p plots into a single number. In this paper we characterize the set of all distinct p-p plots for two balanced sample of size <I>n</I> absent...</i>

The information contained in PP-plots is transformed into a single number. The resulting Harmonic Mass (HM) index is distribution free and its sample counterpart is shown to be consistent. For a wide class of CDFs the exact analytical expression of the distribution of the sample HM index is...
