An improved version of this type of correction (the delta-corrected K-S test for an intrinsic null hypothesis) is discussed in the text Biometry (Sokal and Rohlf, 4th ed. 2012) and a table Y is also provided for this test. It should be more widely known and appreciated.

Thanks Justin. As far as I know, lillie.test() only works on the normal distribution, which limits its use for other distributions (like exponential, gamma, uniform, etc.) If I recall correctly, lillie.test() also uses an analytical approximation to calculate p-values, whereas ours uses Monte

Thanks, Justin! I've checked out whichever help docs I can find, but I've discovered that sometimes a particular "correct" is not always mentioned, even when used in the software. The reason I'm checking is that I'm a co-author on an R package (LcKS) that implements the Lilliefors correction
