Abstract

Gamma distribution is used to model the right skewed data. The goodness of fit tests determine how well the data fit to the underlying distribution. This paper compares the performances of goodness of fit tests for generalized gamma distribution. Kolmogrov Smirnov, Cramer-von Mises and Anderson-Darling tests are considered for testing the goodness of fit between the distribution of sample data and generalized gamma distribution under some different parametric scenarios.
