Goodness‐of‐fit tests based on the Cramér‐von Mises statistics are given for the Poisson distribution. Power comparisons show that these statistics, particularly A 2 , give good overall tests of fit. The statistic A 2 will be particularly useful for detecting distributions where the variance is close to the mean, but which are not Poisson.
