Hello,

I'm sorry, but apparently I missed the point of your problem.
Please do not take my previous answer seriously.

But you can use ks.test, just in a different way than what I wrote 
previously.

Corrected code:


#simulation
for (i in 1:1000) {
   #sample from the reference distribution
   m_2 <-m_1[(sample(nrow(m_1), size=i, prob=p_1, replace=F)),]
   m_2 <-m_2[order(m_2$d_1),]
   d_2 <- m_2$d_1
   p_2 <- m_2$p_1

   #weighted ecdf for the reference distribution and the sample
   f_d_1 <- ewcdf(d_1, normalise=F)
   f_d_2 <- ewcdf(d_2, 1/p_2, normalise=F, adjust=1/length(d_2))

   #kolmogorov-smirnov distance
   x <- f_d_1(d_2)
   y <- f_d_2(d_2)
   ht <- ks.test(x, y)
   d_stat[i, 2] <- ht$statistic
   d_stat[i, 3] <- ht$p.value
}


Hope this helps,

Rui Barradas
