Modified KS, AD, and C-vM tests for the Pareto distribution with unknown location and scale parameters

Standard goodness-of-fit tests based on the empirical CdF (Edf) require continuous underlying distributions with all parameters specified. Three modified Edf-type tests, the Kolmogorov-Smirnov (K-S), Anderson-Darling (A-D), and Cramer-von Mises (C-vM), are developed for the Pareto distribution with unknown parameters of location and scale and known shape parameter. The unknown parameters are estimated using best linear unbiased estimators. For each test, Monte Carlo techniques are used to generate critical values for sample sizes 5(5)30 and Pareto shape parameters 0.5
