A goodness of fit algorithm for empirical data

Abstract

This paper describes a computer program that fits empirical data to any of 10 theoretical distributions. Tests include the Chi-square, Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Moments Test. Of particular interest is an interface language which has been appended in order to ease the burden of input. This program has been used successfully in stochastic simulation and modeling courses for the past four years at the University of Southern Mississippi.
