[R] chi squared goodness of fit test with R

[Stephan Kolassa]

Hi Evrim,

chisq.test() performs chi^2 GOF tests.

However, the chi^2 test may be sensitive to how you bin your data if you 
are working with continuous data (as I infer from your mentioning 
cutting). You may want to look at other GOF tests. Perhaps the NIST 
statistics is a good starting point:

HTH,
Stephan
