+ .. note:: Experimental
+
+ Performs the Kolmogorov Smirnov (KS) test for data sampled from a
continuous
+ distribution. It tests the null hypothesis that the data is
generated from a
+ particular distribution.
+
+ The given data is sorted, the Empirical Cumulative Distribution
Function (ECDF)
+ is calculated which is the number of points having a CDF value
lesser than a given point
+ divided by the total number of points. Since the data is sorted,
this is a step function
+ that rises by (1 / length of data) for every ordered point.
+
+ The KS statistic gives us the maximum distance between the ECDF
and the CDF. Intuitively
+ if this value is large, the probabilty that the null hypothesis is
true becomes small.
+ For specific details of the implementation, please have a look at
the Scala documentation.
+
+ :param data: RDD, samples from the data
+ :param distName: string, currently only "norm" is suuported.
