Phil Steitz commented on MATH-1179:
-----------------------------------
Nice work improving the Monte Carlo performance. Unfortunately, it is slow to
converge as you may have seen in testing. I like the API improvement idea; but
I don't like having APPROXIMATE as the default unless it is modified to be
smarter than just KS sum based approximation for small samples. See the
discussion in the references in the class javadoc for how bad that
approximation is for small samples.

> I'm using the kolmogovSmirnovTest method to calculate pvalues.
> However, when i try running the test on two double[] of sizes 5 and 45 the
> results take over 10 seconds to calculate.
> This seems very long, whereas in R it takes a few miliseconds for the same
> calculation.
> I'd be very happy to hear any comment you may have on the subject.
