title: 'arcstat: Arc-Length Statistics: Goodness of Fit, Distributions and a Bayesian
  Test'
version: 0.3.1
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.arcstat
abstract: 'Inference from the arc length of statistical functions. Three tools share
  one pure-C back-end: a goodness-of-fit test based on the arc length of the probability
  plot, with an analytic saddlepoint null and sensitivity to local density structure
  that the empirical-distribution tests miss; two constructions that build a distribution
  from the arc length of its defining curve, the arc-length generator and the quantile
  arc-length family estimated by L-moments; and a Bayesian nonparametric arc-length
  goodness-of-fit test on the Dirichlet-process posterior. The same C sources back
  the ''Python'' package ''arcstat''.'
