'This book gives a very readable account of the smooth tests of goodness of fit. The book can be read by scientists having only an introductory knowledge of statistics. It contains a fairly extensive list of references; research will find it helpful for the further development of smooth tests.' T.K. Chandra, Zentralblatt für Mathematik und ihre Grenzgebiete, Band 73, 1/92
