Hi all,

I am wondering if anyone has written (or knows of) a function that 
will conduct a goodness-of-fit test for a gamma distribution. I am 
especially interested in test statistics have some asymptotic 
parametric distribution that is independent of sample size or values 
of fitted parameters (e.g., a chi-squared distribution with some 
fixed df), because I want to fit gamma distributions to a large 
number of data sets (of varying sample size), and then compare the 
frequency distribution of test statistics with their expected 
distribution under the null hypothesis that the data really are 
gamma-distributed. An example might be the test proposed in Kallioras 
et al, 2006, Communications in Statistics--Theory and Methods 35: 527-540.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Sean
