Journal of the Royal Statistical Society Series C, 1969, vol. 18, issue 1, 70-75

Abstract: A separate families test is briefly described and applied to diameter measurements of wool tops to see which of the gamma or log‐normal distribution fits better. The method is compared to a graphical method and X2 test for achieving the same objective and it is shown that the separate families test has greater power of discrimination than any of the others.
