%X This paper investigates a new family of statistics based on Burbea-Rao divergence for testing goodness-of-fit. Under the simple and composite null hypotheses the asymptotic distribution of these tests is shown to be chi-squared. For composite hypothesis, the unspecified parameters are estimated by maximum likelihood as well as minimum Burbea-Rao divergence.
