Abstract: Abstract A new and very simple test for uniformity is proposed. An exact formula for the distribution under H0 of the corresponding test statistic is derived. This formula is only suitable for computer‐oriented use. For other circumstances a table of critical values is given. The power of the test is compared with that of two well‐known alternatives: the χ2‐test and the Kolmogorov‐Smirnov test.
