Abstract: This paper deals with the two-sample Kolmogorov–Smirnov test and its biasedness. This test is not unbiased in general in case of unequal sample sizes. We identify most biased distributions for some values of significance level α. Moreover, we discovered that there exists numbers of observations and significance levels α such that this test is unbiased at level α.
