Statistics & Probability Letters, 2015, vol. 96, issue C, 281-286

Abstract: New estimators for the parameters of the Gamma distribution are proposed, which are used for constructing a test of fit for this model based on the ratio of two variance estimators. The asymptotic null distribution of the test statistic is also included.
