Define the Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistic for testing the null hypothesis that real random variables are independently and identically distributed with specified continuous, strictly increasing distribution function , and show that its null distribution does not depend on .
A composite hypothesis specifies that, when the unknown positive parameter takes value , the random variables arise independently from the uniform distribution . Letting , show that, under , the statistic is sufficient for . Show further that, given , the random variables are independent and have the distribution. How might you apply the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test to test the hypothesis ?
