scipy.special.smirnov

scipy.special.smirnov(x1, x2[, out]) = <ufunc 'smirnov'>

y=smirnov(n,e) returns the exact Kolmogorov-Smirnov complementary cumulative distribution function (Dn+ or Dn-) for a one-sided test of equality between an empirical and a theoretical distribution. It is equal to the probability that the maximum difference between a theoretical distribution and an empirical one based on n samples is greater than e.
