ABSTRACT

This article discusses applications of Charlier polynomials when checking how well classic Poisson model fits the data. We show that smooth components pertaining to the polynomials can be effectively used in preliminary analysis of data at hand and we propose and discuss some tests based on them. Our extensive simulations shed new light on power behavior of the best tests in the area.
