KolmogorovSmirnov: Computation of the Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistics

Description

This function computes the Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistics (KS).

Usage

KolmogorovSmirnov(S1, S2)

Arguments

S1

Vector containing the sample 1 from which CDF1 will be estimated.

S2

Vector containing the sample 2 from which CDF2 will be estimated.

Value

Returns the value of the Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistics.

Details

CDF1 and CDF2 are estimated empirically to compute the Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistics.
