    summary:The aim of the paper is to present a test of goodness of fit with weigths in the classes based on weighted (h,ϕ)\left( h,\phi \right) -divergences. This family of divergences generalizes in some sense the previous weighted divergences studied by Frank et al [frank] and Kapur [kapur]. The weighted (h,ϕ)\left( h,\phi \right)-divergence between an empirical distribution and a fixed distribution is here investigated for large simple random samples, and the asymptotic distributions are shown to be either normal or equal to the distribution of a linear combination of independent chi-square variables. Some approximations to the linear combination of independent chi-square variables are presented
