Accurate goodness-of-fit tests for the extreme tails of empirical distributions is a very important issue, relevant in many contexts, including geophysics, insurance, and finance. We have derived exact asymptotic results for a generalization of the large-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, well suited to testing these extreme tails. In passing, we have rederived and made more precise the approximat...

A modified version of the Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) test is presented as a tool to assess whether a specified, although arbitrary, probability model is unsuitable to describe the underlying distribution of a set of observations. The KS test computes distances between points of the sample cumulative distribution function and the hypothetical one as absolute differences between them, and then consi...

The aim of the study was to define relationship between flexibility, explosive strength and speed of running. Fifty-six young (aged 15-19) czech soccer players participated this research. Data about flexibility (sit and reach test – HF), explosive strength (countermovement vertical jump – VJ) and speed of running (10 meters sprint – 10m) were collected. For analyse the data software Statistica ...
