Post by Steve Hilliard >>First a "thank you" to all of you who set me straight regarding the intimidating K-S test. Several mentioned that B-D software provides this test--do any other packages offer it? I'll have to check it out,<< Hi Steve The K-S test is also available in StatGraphics (for Windows) - probably also in other Stat packages. However, I got to thinking about it after trying to explain it to a colleague - works on differences in cumulative frequencies - and I realised that I would like to know the nuts and bolts of the method instead of just accepting the package version (I used to write my own stat software in the old days - from textbook formulae, etc). I trolled through all the statistics books I could find in a nearby reputable student bookstore - only one mentioned it - and only as something the reader might wish to go on to. I did find a table of probability distributions for it. I'll probably have to pay a visit to the university stats department for info. Does anybody out there have a detailed description - or reference (text or paper) to the Kolmogoroff-Smirnov test - solutions and probabilities. Please e-mail me if you do - my curiosity is irked.
