Kolmogorov-Smirnov. It's the test statistic for a
goodness of fit of a fully specified distribution,
based on the maximum difference between the theoretical
and empirical cdf.
For most alternatives of interest, it has much more
power than the chi-squared test, but there are tests
that do somewhat better still.
