# Goal


## Goal

Test whether sample comes from a Landau distribution

. . .

- sample $L$ from Landau PDF
- sample $M$ from Moyal PDF

. . .

$H_0$: sample from Landau PDF

 - accept $H_0$ for $L$?
 - reject $H_0$ for $M$?


## Why Moyal?

Landau and Moyal PDFs are similar

## Statistical tests

. . .

- **Properties test**

  compatibility between expected and observed PDF properties

. . .

- **Kolmogorov - Smirnov test**

  compatibility between expected and empirical CDF

. . .

- **Trapani test**

  test for finite or infinite moments
