Description
The routine imsls_f_kolmogorov_one performs a Kolmogorov-Smirnov goodness-of-fit test in one sample. The hypotheses tested follow:
where F is the cumulative distribution function
(CDF)
of the random variable, and the theoretical cdf,
F* , is specified via the user-supplied function cdf.
Let
n = n_observations
-
n_missing. The test statistics for both one-sided alternatives
and
and the two-sided (Dn = differences[0])
alternative are computed as well as an asymptotic z-score (test_statistics[0])
and p-values associated with the one-sided (test_statistics[1])
and two-sided (test_statistics[2])
hypotheses. For n > 80, asymptotic p-values are used (see
Gibbons 1971). For
n £ 80,
exact one-sided p-values are computed according to a method given by
Conover (1980, page 350). An approximate two-sided test p-value is
obtained as twice the one-sided p-value. The approximation is very close
for one-sided
p-values less than 0.10 and becomes very bad as the
one-sided p-values get larger.
Programming Notes
1. The theoretical CDF is assumed to be continuous. If the CDF is not continuous, the statistics
will not be computed correctly.
2. Estimation of parameters in the theoretical CDF from the sample data will tend to make the p-values associated with the test statistics too liberal. The empirical CDF will tend to be closer to the theoretical CDF than it should be.
3. No attempt is made to check that all points in the sample are in the support of the theoretical CDF. If all sample points are not in the support of the CDF, the null hypothesis must be rejected.
Example
In this example, a random sample of size 100 is generated via routine imsls_f_random_uniform (Chapter 12, “Random Number Generation”) for the uniform (0, 1) distribution. We want to test the null hypothesis that the cdf is the standard normal distribution with a mean of 0.5 and a variance equal to the uniform (0, 1) variance (1/12).
#include <imsls.h>
#include <stdio.h>
float cdf(float);
int main()
{
float *statistics=NULL, *diffs = NULL, *x=NULL;
int nobs = 100, nmiss;
imsls_random_seed_set(123457);
x = imsls_f_random_uniform(nobs, 0);
statistics = imsls_f_kolmogorov_one(cdf, nobs, x,
IMSLS_N_MISSING, &nmiss,
IMSLS_DIFFERENCES, &diffs,
0);
printf("D = %8.4f\n", diffs[0]);
printf("D+ = %8.4f\n", diffs[1]);
printf("D- = %8.4f\n", diffs[2]);
printf("Z = %8.4f\n", statistics[0]);
printf("Prob greater D one sided = %8.4f\n", statistics[1]);
printf("Prob greater D two sided = %8.4f\n", statistics[2]);
printf("N missing = %d\n", nmiss);
}
float cdf(float x)
{
float mean = .5, std = .2886751, z;
z = (x-mean)/std;
return(imsls_f_normal_cdf(z));
}
Output
D = 0.1471
D+ = 0.0810
D- = 0.1471
Z = 1.4708
Prob greater D one-sided = 0.0132
Prob greater D two-sided = 0.0264
N missing = 0
