Title: RE: Kolmogorov-Smirnov or Lilliefors for known mean and unknown variance

An (out of print) text Applied Nonparametric Statistics, Second Edition by Wayne W. Daniel (Duxbury - Pws-Kent) has three Lilliefors tables:

        one for (mu unknown, sigma^2 known),
        one for (mu known, sigma^2 unknown) and
        one for (mu unknown, sigma^2 unknown).

The second table seems to be what you want.

Subject: Kolmogorov-Smirnov or Lilliefors for known mean and unknown
variance


Hi,

I want to test whether a set is drawn from a normal distribution. With a
Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, I can do this for known mean and variance. The
Lilliefors test is essentially the same, but for unknown mean and variance
(thus estimated from the data).
Now, in my case, I have a known mean (zero) and unknown variance, meaning
that my situation is somewhere in between Kolmogorov-Smirnov and
Lilliefors. Is there a separate test for this? I haven't checked the
Lilliefors paper yet, so maybe I am able to partly follow the paper and
come up with a similar result for known mean and unknown variance, but if
someone else has already done it, I'd rather use those results.

Any comments on this?

Regards,
Koen Vermeer
