SUMMARY We derive a goodness-of-fit test for the von Mises-Fisher distribution which is an extension of a goodness-of-fit test for the von Mises distribution given by Cox (1975). A robust version of the test is also given. Computational aspects of the test statistic are discussed and a numerical example is given.
