Hello, While doing test of normality under R and SAS, in order to prove the efficiency of R to my company, I notice that Anderson Darling, Cramer Van Mises and Shapiro-Wilk tests results are quite the same under the two environnements, but the Kolmogorov-smirnov p-value really is different. Here is what I do: > ks.test(w,pnorm,mean(w),sd(w)) One-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test data: w D

Hi everybody, while performing ks.test for a standard exponential distribution on samples of dimension 2500, generated everytime as new, i had this strange behaviour: >data<-rexp(2500,0.4) >ks.test(data,"pexp",0.4) One-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test data: data D = 0.0147, p-value = 0.6549 alternative hypothesis: two.sided >data<-rexp(2500,0.4)

Hello r-group I have a question to the ks.test. I would expect different values for less and greater between data1 and data2. Does anybody could explain my point of misunderstanding the function? data1<-c(8,12,43,70) data2<- c(70,43,12,8) ks.test(data1,"pnorm") ks.test(data1,"pnorm",alternative ="less") #expected < 0.001

All, Happy World Cup and Wimbledon. This morning finds me with the first of my many daily questions. I am running a ks.test on residuals obtained from a regression model. I use this code: > ks.test(Year5.lm$residuals,pnorm) and obtain this output One-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test data: Year5.lm$residuals D = 0.7196, p-value < 2.2e-16 alternative hypothesis: two.sided Warning

Dear R users I am using KS test to compare two different distribution for the same variable (temperature) for two different time periods. H0: the two distributions are equal H1: the two distributions are different ks.test (temp12, temp22) Two-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test data: temp12 and temp22 D = 0.2047, p-value < 2.2e-16 alternative hypothesis: two-sided Warning message: In

Hi, does the shapiro wilk test in R-1.3.0 work correctly? Maybe it does, but can anybody tell me why the following sample doesn't give "W = 1" and "p-value = 1": R> x<-1:9/10;x [1] 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5 0.6 0.7 0.8 0.9 R> shapiro.test(qnorm(x)) Shapiro-Wilk normality test data: qnorm(x) W = 0.9925, p-value = 0.9986 I can't imagine a sample being

Hi there! I have two little different data. One is a computer test on people, the other is a paper and pencil test. two boxplots show me that the data is almost the same. So now I'd like to know if I could handle all data as one, by testing with ks.test: ==== > ks.test(el$angststoer, fl$angststoer) Two-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test data: el$angststoer and fl$angststoer D =

I have to start by saying that I am new to R, so I might miss something crucial here. It seems to me that the results of friedman.test and ks.test are "wrong". Now, obviously, the first thing which crossed my mind was "it can't be, this is a package used by so many, someone should have observed", but I can't figure out what it might be. Problem: let's start with

I frequently want to test for differences between animal size frequency distributions. The obvious test (I think) to use is the Kolmogorov-Smirnov two sample test (provided in R as the function ks.test in package ctest). The KS test is for continuous variables and this obviously includes length, weight etc. However, limitations in measuring (e.g length to the nearest cm/mm, weight to the nearest

I'm using ks.test (mydata, dnorm) on my data. I know some of my different variable samples (mydata1, mydata2, etc) must be normally distributed but the p value is always < 2.0^-16 (the 2.0 can change but not the exponent). I want to test mydata against a normal distribution. What could I be doing wrong? I tried instead using rnorm to create a normal distribution: y = rnorm

Dear all, One can use ks.test(x,y) for a one-sample kolmogorov-smirnov test: x being the data sample y being a string specifying a distribution I notice the help on ks.test does not tell you how to get such a list. Is this a hole in my R knowledge? Where can I get a list of the strings specifying the possible distributions? and more specifically What would be the string and following

Hi! how can I do the Kolmogorov Smirnov test for discrepancy between the estimated and empirical tails? Regards Anuradha [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I'm using ks.test() to compare two different measurement methods. I don't really know how to interpret the output in the absence of critical value table of the D statistic. I guess I could use the p-value when available. But I also get the message "cannot compute correct p-values with ties ..." does it mean I can't use ks.test() for these data or I can still use the D

Dear list members, I'm quite new to R, and though I tried to find the answer to my probably very basic question through the available resources (website, mailing list archives, docs, google), I've not found it. If I try to use the "integrate" function from within my own functions, my functions seem to misbehave in some contexts. The following example is a bit silly, but

Hi R Users, I have two vectors, x and y, of equal length representing two types of data from two studies. I would like to test if they are similar enough to use them interchangeably. No assumptions about distributions can be made (initial tests clearly show that they are not normal). Here some result: Two-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test data: x and y D = 0.1091, p-value < 2.2e-16 alternative

Hello, I have a bunch of files containing 300 data points each with values from 0 to 1 which also sum to 1 (I don't think the last element is relevant though). In addition, each data point is annotated as an "a" or a "b". I would like to know in which files (if any) the data is uniformly distributed. I used Google and found out that a Kolmogorov-Smirnov or a Chi-square

The note to 1004 says "fixed for 1.3.1" Uh. No. It ain't. The problem was more serious than guessed as even the simplest testing would show. For example, Example 5.4 in Hollander and Wolfe (Nonparametric Statistical, Methods, 2nd ed., Wiley, 1999, pp. 180-181) R Version 1.3.1 (SuSE Linux 7.1) > X <-

Hi, I have a problem with Kolmogorov-Smirnov test fit. I try fit distribution to my data. Actualy I create two test: - # First Kolmogorov-Smirnov Tests fit - # Second Kolmogorov-Smirnov Tests fit see below. This two test return difrent result and i don't know which is properly. Which result is properly? The first test return lower D = 0.0234 and lower p-value = 0.00304. The lower 'D'
