ab: Summary: The generalized Rayleigh distribution is a two-parameter family of
    distributions encompassing Rayleigh, Maxwell and chi-square.
    Statistical models based on this relatively unknown distribution may
    provide reliability engineers with a better modelling tool if
    inferential test are known. In this paper some powerful uniform tests
    are proposed for the generalized Rayleigh distribution, conditional on
    the value of the parameter $k$. For a point null hypothesis the test
    proposed here is also unbiased. The power of the tests is also
    calculated.
