Generalized two sample kolmogorov-smirnov test involving a possibly censored sample

Abstract

Let x be a sample from an unknown population X, and x' be another sample from which some of the smallest and/or the largest observations may have been removed . A nonparametric procedure, to test the null hypothesis stating that x' also comes from X, against the alternative hypothesis stating that this is false, is provided. Simulation results are included
