The article explores different tests for checking if data fits a specific pattern. The researchers looked at using spacings to create a distribution function and tested its effectiveness. They found that while the new method has potential, it is not as powerful as the traditional method using order statistics. The study also briefly examined a specific statistic based on spacings.
