This paper proposes and studies a computationally convenient goodness-of-fit test for this distribution, which is based on an empirical counterpart of a system of equations. The test is consistent against fixed alternatives. The null distribution of the test can be consistently approximated by a parametric bootstrap and by a weighted bootstrap. The goodness of these bootstrap estimators and the power for finite sample sizes are numerically studied. It is shown that the proposed test can be naturally extended to the multivariate Poisson distribution.application/pdfengAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacionalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Bivariate Poisson distributionGoodness-of-fitEmpirical probability generating functionParametric bootstrapWeighted bootstrapMultivariate Poisson distributioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccesshttps://idus.us.es/xmlui/handle/11441/44841
