To test this null hypothesis, we develop a cramervon mises test based on an infinitedimensional analogue of the empirical process. Our method is based on a finite number of observations of the process. In its basic form, the test assumes that there are no parameters to be estimated in the distribution being tested, in which case the test and its set of critical values is distributionfree.
