We present a simulation study to show that our proposed statistic has an approximate χ2 distribution under the null hypothesis. Two applications are provided to illustrate the use of the new statistic. The first application examines the fit of a logistic regression model using both the proposed statistic and the popular Hosmer-Lemeshow statistic and we compare and contrast these two methods. The second application evaluates the goodness of fit of a polychotomous regression model.Read More
