Class KolmogorovSmirnovDist

java.lang.Object

jhplot.math.KolmogorovSmirnovDist

public class KolmogorovSmirnovDist
extends java.lang.Object

This class computes both the cumulative probability P[D_n <= x] and the complementary cumulative probability P[D_n >= x] of the 2-sided 1-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov distribution.

The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test statistic D_n is defined by

D_n = sup_x |F(x) - S_n(x)|

where n is the sample size, S_n(x) is an empirical distribution function, and F(x) is a completely specified theoretical distribution.

Method Detail

cdf

public static double cdf(int n,
                         double x)

Computes the cumulative probability P[D_n <= x] of the Kolmogorov-Smirnov distribution with sample size n at x. It returns at least 13 decimal digits of precision for n <= 140, at least 5 decimal digits of precision for 140 < n <= 100000, and a few correct decimal digits for n > 100000.

Parameters:

n - sample size

x - value of Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistic

Returns:

cumulative probability

fbar

public static double fbar(int n,
                          double x)

Computes the complementary cumulative probability P[D_n >= x] of the Kolmogorov-Smirnov distribution with sample size n at x. It returns at least 10 decimal digits of precision for n <= 140, at least 5 decimal digits of precision for 140 < n <= 200000, and a few correct decimal digits for n > 200000.

Parameters:

n - sample size

x - value of Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistic

Returns:

complementary cumulative probability

main

public static void main(java.lang.String[] args)
