7.2.1.3. Anderson-Darling and Shapiro-Wilk tests
The Anderson-Darling test (Stephens, 1974) is used to test if a sample of data comes from a specific distribution. It is a modification of the Kolmogorov-Smirnov (K-S) test and gives more weight to the tails of the distribution than does the K-S test. The K-S test is distribution free in the sense that the critical values do not depend on the specific distribution being tested.
