Which test is used to assess whether a sample follows a specific theoretical probability distribution?
Answer:
The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test
The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test is a goodness-of-fit test used to compare a sample distribution with a reference probability distribution. It measures the maximum distance between the empirical cumulative distribution function of the sample and the cumulative distribution function of the reference distribution, allowing researchers to determine if the data significantly deviates from the expected model.
