Abstract

Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) tests rely on the convergence to zero of the KS-distance d(Fn,G)d(F_n,G) in the one sample case, and of d(Fn,Gm)d(F_n,G_m) in the two sample case. In each case the assumption (the null hypothesis) is that F=GF=G, and so d(F,G)=0d(F,G)=0. In this paper we extend the Dvoretzky-Kiefer-Wolfowitz-Massart inequality to also apply to cases where FGF \neq G, i.e. when it is possible that d(F,G)>0d(F,G) > 0.
