[R] Help needed with ks.test

[Vito Ricci]

Ciao Emanuele,

you could give a look to this contribute on fitting
distributions with R, maybe it could be helpful to
you:

Hello to everybody,

I'd like to submit a problem I'm dealing with, and I
can't get an answer to 
by myself.
I have to test if my data come from a specific
probability distribution, of 
which I know the analytic form both of the p.d.f. and
the c.d.f.
Namely, it is the hypoexponential distribution, sum of
two exponentials with 
different parameters.
Is there any way I can manage the task with ks.test?
It's not straightforward to compute the inverse of the
c.d.f in order to 
simulate data from that distribution...

Thank you very much in advance for your kind answers!
See you
EM

Top 10 reasons to become a Statistician

     1. Deviation is considered normal
     2. We feel complete and sufficient
     3. We are 'mean' lovers
     4. Statisticians do it discretely and continuously
     5. We are right 95% of the time
     6. We can legally comment on someone's posterior distribution
     7. We may not be normal, but we are transformable
     8. We never have to say we are certain
     9. We are honestly significantly different
    10. No one wants our jobs
