摘要
This article deals with goodness-of-fit test for the Cauchy distribution. Six new tests based on Kullback-Leibler information are proposed, and shown to be consistent. Monte Carlo evidence indicates that the tests have satisfactory performances against symmetric alternatives. An empirical application to quantitative finance is provided. (C) 2019 The Authors.
