Abstract
Abstract This is a distribution‐free method for comparing two empirical distributions, based on the largest vertical distance between the two cumulative distribution functions. The Kolmogorov test is a special case where one distribution function is known, and hence is a test of goodness‐of‐fit. Various properties, including power, are discussed.
