= Kolmogorov-Smirnov Test = The '''Kolmogorov-Smirnov test''' is a statistical test for equality of two [[Analysis#Probability_Distributions|cumulative probability distributions]]. <> ----- == Usage == === Test for Normality === This test is not optimal for testing [[Analysis/NormalDistribution|normality]], e.g. of [[Statistics/Residuals|residuals]]. 1. [[https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/95642/kolmogorov-smirnov-test-reliability/95695#95695|Moments tests are better suited to the normal distribution.]] 2. Modeling methods generally only require approximate normality. 3. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AaU9b4iIbbE|With a sufficiently large sample size, a null hypothesis that the residuals are normal will always be rejected.]] ---- CategoryRicottone
