R help - Jun 2010 - Testing for differences between 2 unknown distributions/densities

Hi all,

I have two distributions / densities (drew density plots and
eye-balled some data). Given that I don't want to make any assumptions
about the data (e.g. normality, existence of certain distribution
types and parameters), what are my options for testing that the
distributions are the same?

Thanks,
Ralf
