Hi,
Should groupvar in stata consist of raw data or already calculated cumulative relative frequencies..? I've done the latter, but now I see that other statistical-packages wants raw data and calculate the cumulative relative frequencies automatically.
 
I get the feeling from the help file that I have assumed correctly and that stata wants the cumulative rel. frequencies of the variable you want to test. Am I correct?
 
ksmirnov performs one- and two-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests of the
    equality of distributions.  In the first syntax, varname <https://webpost.imr.no/help.cgi?varname>  is the variable
    whose distribution is being tested, and exp <https://webpost.imr.no/help.cgi?exp>  must evaluate to the
    corresponding (theoretical) cumulative.  In the second syntax, groupvar <https://webpost.imr.no/help.cgi?varlist> 
    must take on two distinct values.  The distribution of varname for the
    first value of groupvar is compared with that of the second value
 
Regards,
AC
