Dear all,
I have a question about the ks.test() function, in order to perform a
Kolmogorov-Smirnov test.
I think that my question is very simple for many of you, but I cannot find
an answer right now...
I have a sample, and I want to test if its distribution is normal. So I
would like to perform a one sample KS test but I cannot find the "y"
argument representing the "character string naming a distribution
function" according to the ?ks.test help page.
It is impossible forme to have a list of these character strings naming a
distribution function.
I think it is "pnorm" for a normal distribution, bu I would like to be sure...
Thanks a lot for your help,
Florence.
PS: I know that the KS test is not the best test for normality, I also
performed the Shapiro-Wilk test.
