Approximate Critical Values for Kolmogorov-Smirnov's D

Computes the critical value for Kolmogorov-Smirnov's \(D_n\), for sample sizes \(n \ge 10\) and confidence level 95%.

Usage

KSd(n)

Details

Based on tables values given in the reference below. For \(n\le 80\) uses interpolations from exact values, elsewhere uses asymptotic approximation.

Arguments

n

the sample size, n >= 10.

Value

The critical value for D (two-sided) for significance level 0.05 (or confidence level 95%).
