I am trying to find if the variable I have follows an exponential distribution. Tried to locate some goodness of fit tests but wasn't successful.
After some long search I found the command ksmirnov. However, the help doesn't offer much on how to use it. They have an illustration for testing if a variable x follows normal distribution.
ksmirnov x = normal((x-r(mean))/r(sd))
Any suggestions?
