Description

I would need a function (or class) performing the Kolmogorov Smirnov test.

Does anyone know if it is implemented in GSL?

Also it would be useful to allow weighting as they do in GSEA.

See ​PNAS paper

Some clarification:

The K-S statistic can be formulated as

max C * |sensitivity + specificity - 1| where max runs over different thresholds. The constant C is often chosen to be the geometrical mean of the two group sizes. In the weighted approach (see link to PNAS paper above), rather than just counting samples one calculates the sum of weights. So rather than having number of true positives one uses sum of weights of true positives and so on and so forth.
