[R] Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests: overflow

[Arne Mueller]

Dear All,

I've got a problem with ks.test. I've two realy large vectors, that I'd
like to test, but I get an overflow, and the p-value cannot be
calculated:

> length(genomesv)
[1] 390025
> length(scopv)
[1] 140002
> ks.test(genomesv, scopv)

        Two-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test

data:  genomesv and scopv 
D = 0.2081, p-value = NA
alternative hypothesis: two.sided 

Warning messages: 
1: NAs produced by integer overflow in: n.x * n.y 
2: NAs produced by integer overflow in: n.x * n.y 
3: cannot compute correct p-values with ties in: ks.test(genomesv,
scopv) 

Is there anything I can do about this? I'd realy like to know what the
p-value is ;-)

	thanks a lot for help,

	Arne
