Hi, I got two data point vectors. Now I want to make a ks.test(). I you print both vectors you will see, that they fit pretty fine. Here is a picture: http://www.jochen-bauer.net/downloads/kstest-r-help-list-plot.png
As you can see there is one histogram and moreover there is the gumbel density function plotted. Now I took to bin-mids and the bin-height for vector1 and computed the distribution-values to all bin-mids as vector2. I pass these two vectors to ks.test(). Are those the right vectors, if I want to decide afterwards, if my experiment-data is gumbel-distributed? Surprisingly the p-value changes tremendously if I calculate more digits out of my theoretical formula. If I round to 0 digits, p is 1, if I round to 4 digits, p drops to 0 - how could this happen, I thought more digits will bring more accurate results?!
