Abstract

Because of central role played by Circular Uniform Distribution, the most important hypothesis about a distribution on the Circle is that of Uniformity. Though several tests were proposed, cut-off points for various sample sizes and level of significance were not made available in the literature. Hence, an attempt is made here to present tables of cut-off points and their utility in discussing goodness of fit of a model is presented.
