Semiparametric KSD test: unifying score and distance-based approaches for goodness-of-fit testing

The article introduces a new goodness-of-fit test, the Semiparametric KSD test, which aims to combine the strengths of score and distance-based approaches. This suggests a potential advancement in statistical testing methodologies, possibly leading to more robust and versatile methods for evaluating model fit. The source being ArXiv indicates this is a pre-print, so peer review is pending.
