Goodness-of-fit KS for multiple distributions

[simeoncc]

Hi,
I need to test the goodness of fit of various distributions using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. I am using SPSS for this (but also have matlab available).
Doing this for a normal distribution wasnt a problem, however how can I perform and compare the goodness-of-fit for other distribution types?

The types I need to comare are: (shifted) lognormal, normal, expoential, weibull and gamma distributions.

Thanks for any tips!

bump - anyone with any advice?

Does no one know how to do this? :/

I don't know SPSS. I Googled, and maybe Matlab is a better option for you. This example indicates that Matlab can do a K-S test with other distributions besides standard normal. But I don't use Matlab either. So I don't know specifically what the other distributions are.

Thanks for the reply!
I have dug deeper and found that the default options in SPSS are limitted to just a few distributions.
I have therefore continued in matlab where the options are wider and with which I am more familiar.
