Abstract

Consider nn iid random variables, where ξ1,,ξn\xi_1, \ldots, \xi_n are nn realisations of a random variable ξ\xi and ζ1,,ζn\zeta_1, \ldots, \zeta_n are nn realisations of a random variable ζ\zeta. The distribution of each realisation of ξ\xi, that is the distribution of \emph{one} ξi\xi_i, depends on the value of the corresponding ζi\zeta_i, that is the probability P(ξix)=F(x,ζi)P\left(\xi_i\leq x\right)=F(x,\zeta_i). We develop a statistical test to see if the ξ1,,ξn\xi_1, \ldots, \xi_n are distributed according to the distribution function F(x,ζi)F(x,\zeta_i). We call this new statistical test the condition Kolmogorov-Smirnov test.
