ok I expected that, but:
ks.test(runif(100), "runif")
One-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test
data: runif(100)
D = 0.9106, p-value < 2.2e-16
alternative hypothesis: two-sided
How come?
Pilot error. The help says
y: either a numeric vector of data values, or a character string
naming a cumulative distribution function or an actual
cumulative distribution function such as ‘pnorm’. Only
continuous CDFs are valid.
"runif" is not 'an actual cumulative distribution function' ....
