weighted Cramer VonMises test in R?

[Abigail Schiffmiller]

In the introductory material online, it is stated that Distance for windows provides both weighted and unweighted Cramer VonMises values. When I use gof_ds or ds.gof in R, however, I only get the unweighted values. Is the weighted test available? I do not see a way to specify it in the Distance package pdf.

You are correct that only the unweighted CvM test has been coded into the Distance R package.  In practice, I don't recall a data set for which the weighted and unweighted versions of the test (performed in DistWin) produced differing inference regarding model fit.
