On a Statistic Based on Uniform Spacings.

Abstract

Some power results are presented concerning the performance of a statistic first introduced by Greenwood and developed by Moran, for testing that a sample comes from a specified distribution. The statistic has recently been discussed by Hartley and Pfaffenberger. A Pearson curve approximation to the null distribution is also discussed.
