The average projection type weighted Cramér-von Mises test statistic as well as estimated and weighted Cramér-von Mises statistics for testing distributions (I), (II) and (III) are constructed via integrating projection direction on the unit sphere, and the asymptotic distributions and the expansions of those test statistics under the null hypothesis are also obtained.
