Abstract The Kolmogorov goodness-of-fit test is known to be conservative when the hypothesized distribution function is not continuous. A method for finding the exact critical level (approximate in the two-sided case) and the power in such cases is derived. Thus the Kolmogorov test may be used as an exact goodness-of-fit test for all completely specified distribution functions, whether continuous or not continuous. Several examples of the application of this extension of the Kolmogorov test are also included.
