Lilliefors Test
The Lilliefors test is a goodness-of-fit test that checks whether a continuous sample comes from a normal (or exponential) distribution when the mean and variance are unknown and estimated from the data. Introduced by Hubert W. Lilliefors in 1967, it adjusts the critical values of the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test so that they remain valid once the distribution's parameters are estimated rather than known in advance.
