Comparing Distributions |
To test the hypothesis that two or more groups of observations have identical distributions, use the NPAR1WAY procedure, which provides empirical distribution function (EDF) statistics. The procedure calculates the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, the Cramér-von Mises test, and, when the data are classified into only two samples, the Kuiper test. Exact p-values are available for the two-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. To obtain these tests, use the EDF option in the PROC NPAR1WAY statement. See Chapter 64, The NPAR1WAY Procedure, for details.
