 |  ExamplesTo perform a two-tailed two-sample KS-test on columns 1 and 2 of the active worksheet , using default settings:kstest2 irng:=(col(a),col(b));
To perform a upper-tailed two-sample KS-test on columns 1 and 2 of the active worksheet, use the script command:kstest2 irng:=(col(a),col(b)) tail:=1;
To perform a lower-tailed two-sample KS-test on columns 1 and 3 of the active worksheet, and save the result table with the name as KS, use the script command:kstest2 irng:=(1,3) tail:=2 rt:=<new name:=KS>;
 Of course, the name, such as KS, you can define it by yourself.
