Abstract :
Test statistics based on Likelihood function , population Quantiles are suggested to discriminate between Dagum distribution and Burr-III distribution. Because of the non tractability of their exact sampling distributions, the percentiles of the proposed test statistics are tabulated with the help of simulated sampling distributions of the test statistics . The power of the test statistics are also tabulated and a comparative study w.r.t the powers for a given sample and the level of significance are worked out.

Key-Words / Index Term :
Dagum distribution(DD), Burr-III distribution(BD), Likelihood function , Quantiles , power of the test.
