Overview

About

Maintained by Dimitrina S. DimitrovaCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Contains functions to compute p-values for the one-sample and two-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) tests and the two-sample Kuiper test for any fixed critical level and arbitrary (possibly very large) sample sizes. For the one-sample KS test, this package implements a novel, accurate and efficient method named Exact-KS-FFT, which allows the pre-specified cumulative distribution function under the null hypothesis to be continuous, purely discrete or mixed. In the two-sample case, it is assumed that both samples come from an unspecified (unknown) continuous, purely discrete or mixed distribution, i.e. ties (repeated observations) are allowed, and exact p-values of the KS and the Kuiper tests are computed. Note, the two-sample Kuiper test is often used when data samples are on the line or on the circle (circular data).

Changes in 2.1.0

New interface

Added ks_c_cdf(n, A, B), a documented low-level interface to the Exact-KS-FFT boundary-crossing calculation. It accepts the lower (A) and upper (B) boundary vectors directly and does not use an intermediate file.

C++ source interface

Added src/KSgeneral.h and src/KSgeneral.cpp as the source-level C++ interface. The header uses only standard C++ types and can be included by users compiling the KSgeneral numerical sources directly.
Centralized all Rcpp::export attributes in src/KSgeneral.cpp; the numerical implementation files no longer contain Rcpp wrappers.
Organized the numerical entry points as src/k1sample.cpp/src/k1sample.h for the one-sample implementation and src/k2sample.cpp for the two-sample KS and Kuiper implementations.

Show all changes in 2.1.0Hide the rest of the changes in 2.1.0

Internal changes

Refactored the one-sample Exact-KS-FFT calculation so package functions pass boundary vectors directly to C++ instead of writing and reading Boundary_Crossing_Time.txt.
Removed the package-internal working-directory side effect and the shared temporary-file dependency from continuous, discrete, and mixed one-sample calculations.
Deprecated the historical file-based ks_c_cdf_Rcpp(n) interface. It is retained temporarily for backward compatibility and now issues a deprecation warning directing users to ks_c_cdf(n, A, B).

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("KSgeneral", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("d-dimitrova/KSgeneral")

Development version from d-dimitrova/KSgeneral. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-ksgeneral

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-KSgeneral

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-KSgeneral

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
