title: Note on the choice of statistic for testing hypotheses regarding seasonality.
abstract: The Kolmogorov-Smirnov one-sample test and the Pearson chi-square test are discussed regarding their application for testing hypotheses of seasonality in births. This paper addresses some points mentioned in an earlier paper by McCullough and argues that the chi-square procedure may be the better test.
