Hello,

You can compute the p-value from the test statistic if you know the samples' sizes. R calls functions written in C for the several cases, for the two samples case, this is the code (edited)

n.x <- 100  # length of 1st sample
n.y <- 100  # length of 2nd sample
STATISTIC <- 1.23

PVAL <- 1 - .C("psmirnov2x",
        p = as.double(STATISTIC),
        as.integer(n.x),
        as.integer(n.y))$p
PVAL <- min(1.0, max(0.0, PVAL))


For the other cases check the source, file stats/ks.test.R.

As for the second question, I believe the answer is no, you must provide at least on sample and a CDF. Something like

x <- rnorm(100)
f <- ecdf(rnorm(100))

ks.test(x, f)


Hope this helps,

Rui Barradas

Dear all,



I calculate the test statistic for the KS test outside R, and wish to use R
only to calculate the corresponding p-value.

Is there a way for doing this? (as far as I see,  ks.test() requires raw
data as input). Alternatively, is there a way to provide the ks.test() the
two CDFs (two samples test) rather than the (x, y) data vectors?



Thanks in advance,

Rani
