    The document presents information on the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, a non-parametric test used to compare two distributions by measuring the largest difference between their empirical distribution functions. It discusses how the test works by comparing the cumulative frequency distribution from a sample to the cumulative frequency based on the null hypothesis, and determining if the largest absolute deviation is significant by comparing it to a critical value. An example is given of a company survey that asked respondents on a 5-point scale about product durability to demonstrate how the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test would be applied.

    PRESENTATION

    ON
    KOLMOGOROV - SMIRNOV
    TEST

    Submitted by
    Sonalisha Das Sharma(10DR010)
    INTRODUCTION
     A fully non-parametric test for comparing two
    distributions.

     Concerned with the degrees of agreement between a set


    of observed values & the values specified by null
    hypothesis.
    CONTINUED
     It is used when one is interested in comparing a set of
    values on an ordinal scale.

     Kolmogorov test is used to test the hypothesis ..


     A company has conducted a field survey on 200
    respondents. Apart from other questions, it asked the
    respondents to indicate on a 5 point scale how much the
    durability of a particular product is important of them .
    The respondents indicates as follows
    very important 50
    some what important 60
    Neither important nor unimportant 20
    Somewhat unimportant 40
    Very unimportant 30
    SOLUTION
     Cumulative frequency distribution from the sample

     Cumulative frequency on the basis of null hypothesis

     Largest absolute deviation between the two distribution

     Comparison with critical value to ascertain its


    significance
