Kolmogorov-Smirnov test for grouped data
Herein is presented a Kolmogorov-Smirnov test for grouped samples. It constitutes an application of W. J. Conover's procedure, which was originally designed for calculating exact critical levels for test with discrete distributions. This test extends the goodness-of-fit test to samples which are …

Parameter estimation for a two-state semi-Markov model of a univariate point process.
… intervals was estimated by the periodogram and a Kolmogorov-Smirnov test of fit was conducted. The asymtotic exponential distribution and independence of the periodogram points were used to calculate an approximate likelihood function. A system of equations was then formed to find the maximum …

Delay analysis of Pacific Fleet Underway Replenishments
… delay time distributions are derived, and tested for goodness-of-fit with the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. Delay as a function of the following UNREP attributes is analyzed: supply ship class, receiver ship type, time: day or night, location: EASTPAC or WESTPAC, simultaneous receivers or a …

Nonparametric testing for random effects in mixed effects models based on the piecewise linear interpolate of the log characteristic function
… square. This thesis presents a new nonparametric testing approach for normality for the random effects distribution based on the piecewise linear interpolate of the log characteristic function along the grid when the number of replications is low. The ideas behind this approach were presented …

Entomotoxicological and Thermal Factors Affecting the Development of Forensically Important Flies
… and control for third instar larvae using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. The ethanol content of Phormia regina in migrating third instar larvae that fed on treated meat was examined using headspace-gas chromatography (HSGC). All larvae had a content of 0.01% w/v, including the control. The …

The Efficient Relationship between Residual Security Risk and Security Investment for Maritime Port Facilities
… ports between 1968 and 2007 and shows, using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, that they follow a Poisson distribution. The contribution which the research makes is in terms of adapting Markowitz (1952) theory to the port security environment; and the modelling and measurement of the impact of the …

An analysis of 100 years of post-fire streamflow responses of British Columbia watersheds
… data, statistical analyses including hypothesis testing and multiple linear regression were done. The two-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test results comparing the fire group against the two control groups resulted in highly variable p-values. Multiple linear regression was done to predict the percent …

Point mutations in normal lungs of smokers and non-smokers
… lungs. However, this hypothesis has not been tested by an assay of nuclear point mutations in lungs of smokers and nonsmokers. Mismatch amplification mutation assay (MAMA), an effective form of allele-specific PCR, was applied for detection of point mutations in TP53 bp742, bp746 and bp747, …
