Abstract
An explicit formula for the Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistic, when distribution parameters are obtained from the data, does not exist in the literature. This paper applies the 4-parameter lognormal (SB) model defined by Johnson to these Monte-Carlo data and shows that the Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistics can be described by this model which is constrained to the interval 0-1.
