Hello, Try length.out = max(length(loga), length(logb)) Note also that all of the previous code and the line above assumes that we are interested in the max distance, whereas the KS statistic computes the supremum of the distance. If it's a two sample test then their values are almost surely

Rui, Your response nearly answered a similar question of mine except that I also have ecdfs of different lengths. Do you know how I can adjust x <- seq(min(loga, logb), max(loga, logb), length.out=length(loga)) to account for this? It must be in length.out() but I'm unsure how to proceed.

The way you are running the test the null hypothesis is that the data comes from a normal distribution with mean=0 and standard deviation = 1. If your minimum data value is 0, then it seems very unlikely that the mean is 0. So the test is being strongly influenced by the mean and standard devi
