I have a dataset which I want to model using a Poisson distribution, with a given 
parameter. I would like to know what is the proper way to do a 'goodness of fit' test 
using R.
   I know the steps I'd take if I were to do it 'manually': grouping the numbers into 
classes, calculating the expected frequencies using 'ppois', then calculating 
Chi_2_obs = Sum (e_i - o_i)^2/e_i) (where e_i represents the expected frequencies and 
o_i the observeds ones) and then finally calculating the p-value (using pchisq).
   I've read a lot of documentation, also tried googling for 'goodness of fit R' but 
it was helpless, most of it is only about 'regression analysis'. Does anyone know if 
there is a simpler way to do this?


Thank you,
