Based on a report to the Windows maintainers from Richard Rowe
<Richard.Rowe@jcu.edu.au>:
NEWS for 1.3.0 says
o Exact p-values are available for the two-sided two-sample
Kolmogorov-Smirnov test.
I think the (new) p-values are computed but are backwards:
> set.seed(123)
> x <- rnorm(50)
> y <- runif(50)
> ks.test(x,y, exact=T)$p
[1] 1
> 1 - ks.test(x,y, exact=T)$p
[1] 4.047605e-08
> ks.test(x,y, exact=F)$p
[1] 3.099506e-07
> y<-rnorm(50)
> ks.test(x,y, exact=T)$p
[1] 0.02015456
> ks.test(x,y, exact=F)$p
[1] 0.9971923
I'll commit the obvious fix unless anyone knows better. Neither value
agrees well with S-PLUS 6, which gives
> source("dumpdata.R")
> ks.gof(x, y)$p
[1] 1.453458e-07
