Degrees of Freedom

Your Software is excellent for almost all types of distribution testing.
You can add the degrees of freedom for the goodness of fit test in the output.
For example if i want to test for the gamma distribution then though your software provides critical values in the output, it will be better if you can add degrees of freedom of the sampling distribution of the chi-test stat.

Thanks,

Thanks a lot. But have little comments.

About the EasyFit, I liked it so much. But some features I used but couldn't understand it well.
Like: I generated random numbers using hypergeometric distibution and tried to put them into a fit. But I found that the hypergeometric distribution itself do not fit the data. HOW COME?
And others. So I would like to know more how this can be eleminated.
