Smirnoff distribution - (May/19/2014 )
Hi,
I am planning to use OriginPro8, in ordrer to do Smirnoff distribution, with and without Bins.
I`ve never used neither such test neither the software.
I wonder if somebody is familiar with such test, if can give some elements to start with.
thanks in advance
I wrote it badly, I meand the kolmogorov-smirnov test
Well it's a quite simple test to see if two datasets (with usually not normal distribution) differ significantly, or if one dataset differs from a reference probability distribution. So it's a non-parametric alternative for the t-test (more or less, as you can do some more stuff with it).
Anyway Origins is a great software, but I never worked with it, to see how it works you have to read the manual or ask in the origins forum: http://www.originlab.com/forum/default.asp
And you also can do the test online: http://www.physics.csbsju.edu/stats/KS-test.n.plot_form.html
Thank you very much for your interesting reply ! it's simple as you said, but I am not very familiar with !
