Abstract A general approach to the comparison of two absolutely continuous distributions is presented based on Pearson's θ2 measure. Although no simple estimates are available for θ2, it can be decomposed into components, all of which are easily estimated. Asymptotic distribution theory is derived for the component estimates, and the form of the components is considered for several standard problems. It is demonstrated that the components-of-θ2 approach provides a unified approach to the development of tests for a variety of problems and that it is useful for generating new test procedures. The components-of-θ2 approach is based on what is termed a comparison density. That is, given two absolutely continuous distributions F and H with densities f and h, the comparison density is defined as d(u) = f(H –1(u))/h(H –1(u)), where H –1 is the H quantile function. Since d must be uniform under the hypothesis F = H, an overall measure of the validity of the hypothesis is provided by φ2 = ∫1 0 (d(u) − 1)2 du. By u...
