- NAME
PROB_KUIPER
- PURPOSE
Return the significance of the Kuiper statistic
- EXPLANATION
Returns the significance level of an observed value of the
Kuiper statistic D for an effective number of data points
N_eff. Called by KUIPERONE
- CALLING SEQUENCE
prob_kuiper, D, N_eff, probks
- INPUT PARAMETERS
D - Kuiper statistic, floating scalar, always non-negative
N_eff - Effective number of data points, scalar. For a 2 sided test
this is given by (N1*N2)/(N1+N2) where N1 and N2 are the number
of points in each data set.
- OUTPUT PARAMETERS
probks - floating scalar between 0 and 1 giving the significance level of
the Kuiper statistic. Small values of PROB suggest that the
distribution being tested are not the same

Corrected typo (termbv for termbf) H. Ebeling/W.Landsman March 1996
Probably did not affect numeric result, but iteration went longer
than necessary
