Abstract

We introduce a special Hankel transform for probability distributions on the nonnegative half-line and discuss some of its properties. Due to the uniqueness of the transform we suggest an integral type test statistic based on the empirical Hankel transform to treat simple and composite hypotheses goodness-of-fit problems. The special case of exponential distributions is studied in detail.
