NSM3 (version 1.1)

cKolSmirn: Computes a critical value for the Kolmogorov-Smirnov J distribution.

Description

This function uses pSmirnov2x from the base stats package to compute the critical value for the Kolmogorov-Smirnov J distribution at (or typically in the "Exact" case, close to) the given alpha level. The program is reasonably quick for large data, well after the asymptotic approximation suffices, so Monte Carlo methods are not included.

Usage

cKolSmirn(alpha, m, n, method=NA, n.mc=10000)

Value

Returns a list with "NSM3Ch5c" class containing the following components:mnumber of observations in the first data group (X)nnumber of observations in the second data group (Y)cutoff.Uupper tail cutoff at or below user-specified alphatrue.alpha.Utrue alpha level corresponding to cutoff.U (if method="Exact")
