comparing distribution of two data sets

statistics probability-distributions

I need to compare the distribution (unknown) of a set of data to the distribution of another one (unknown). In particular, I want to check for equality of the two distributions.

What are some statistical tests for this?


Solution 1:

A huge subject! The standard all-purpose test is Kolmogorov-Smirnov.
