R help

I am interested in modeling hydrological extreme events. I found 
MSClaio2008 very interesting function. In this function four 
criterions for choosing distributions. Can we call these criterions 
as model selection techniques or goodness of fit techniques or both?
Because goodness of fit techniques are usually performed after modle
selection. 

What is MSClaio2008?  I don't quite understand this bit.  If you provide 
code examples, then questions are often easier to answer.

 Can I found chi-square, kolmogrov-sminov and cramer-von mises tests
for testing goodness of fit for proposed distributions?

Yes, you can do these things in R.  The functions you want are: 
chisq.test for the chi-square test
ks.test  for the kolmogorov-smirnoff test.

You can view the help pages for these functions by typing a question mark 
before the function name, e.g. ?chisq.test.

For the Cramer-von Mises tests, I didn't know, so I typed 
RSiteSearch("cramer von mises test"), from which there are several 
suggestions.  In particular, look at the CvM2SL1Test and CvM2SL2Test 
packages.
