The Beta Distribution is widely used in engineering and industrial applications. Goodness-of-fit procedures are revisited. Shapiro-Francia statistic is implemented in Beta distribution. A comparative study between the Anderson-Darling, Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Shapiro-Francia, and Chi-square goodness-of-fit test in testing for Beta distribution is performed using simulation.
