A good test of distribution fit. (That's a graphic from my [Rblog post about tests of fit](https://www.psyctc.org/Rblog/posts/2023-11-15-test-fit-to-gaussian/).)

#### Details

See glossary entry: [Tests of fit to a distribution](https://www.psyctc.org/psyctc/glossary2/tests-of-fit-to-a-distribution/) and Rblog entry: [Tests of fit to Gaussian distribution](https://www.psyctc.org/Rblog/posts/2023-11-15-test-fit-to-gaussian/).

#### Chapters

The ideas of parametric and non-parametric tests, and hence of distributions and distribution testing crop up in Chapter 5 of the book.

#### Online resources

As in **Details** above.
