This paper generalizes the δ‐corrected Kolmogorov–Smirnov (K–S) test into a family of tests, and investigates the behaviour of some of the members of the family, comparing them with the usual K–S test, as well as the δ‐corrected K–S tests suggested by Harter et al . (1984) and Khamis (1990, 1992, 1993). These investigations and power studies suggest which tests are most powerful for which alternative hypotheses.
