What affects goodness-of-fit?
Choosing the right goodness-of-fit test largely depends on what you want to know about a sample and how large the sample is. For example, if wanting to know if observed values for categorical data match the expected values for categorical data, use chi-square.
Are fixed effects independent variables?
Fixed-effects models are a class of statistical models in which the levels (i.e., values) of independent variables are assumed to be fixed (i.e., constant), and only the dependent variable changes in response to the levels of independent variables.
Will you test goodness of fit homogeneity or independence?
In the test of independence, observational units are collected at random from a population and two categorical variables are observed for each unit. In the test of homogeneity, the data are collected by randomly sampling from each sub-group separately. In the goodness-of-fit test there is only one observed variable.

How is the goodness of fit of a model measured?
The goodness of fit of a statistical model describes how well it fits a set of observations. Measures of goodness of fit typically summarize the discrepancy between observed values and the values expected under the model in question. Such measures can be used in statistical hypothesis testing,
Is it possible that none of your fits are the best?
Note that it is possible that none of your fits can be considered the best one. In this case, it might be that you need to select a different model. Conversely, it is also possible that all the goodness of fit measures indicate that a particular fit is the best one.
Which is the best test for the goodness of fit?
In assessing whether a given distribution is suited to a data-set, the following tests and their underlying measures of fit can be used: Kolmogorov–Smirnov test. Cramér–von Mises criterion. Anderson–Darling test. Shapiro–Wilk test. Chi-squared test. Akaike information criterion.
