lognormal parameters for Kol-Smir test



Hi.

I am using the kolmogorov-smirnov goodness of fit test to see if my 
data are lognormal. I first get parameter estimates from maximum 
likelihood (2 parameter lognormal) or PPCC (3 parameter 
lognormal).  The question is, how do I specify the shape parameter 
for kol-smir?  According to the Dataplot help page, the parameter is 
called "SD".  But I find that the kol-smir test statistic is the same 
regardless of what I put for SD. It is only sensitive to scale and 
location (ksloc and ksscale respectively).

When I use efits, I get a smaller test value, so presumably it is 
doing something I'm not.  I've tried using pieces of the efits code, 
but haven't fixed the problem. I appreciate any help you can offer.
