[R] ks.test for conditional distribution Y|x

[Wiener, Matthew]

Couldn't you do this by subtracting 0.5 + x from your y values and checking
for normality with mean 0 and sd = 1 (using ks.test or another test of
normality).

If you fail, you'll have to do additional work to find out whether pairs
with some particular x value (or range of x values) is causing the problem,
but I think this fits the question as stated.

Of course, if you have discrete x values, and enough data at each one, you
could just run the check for each x.

Hope this helps,

Matt Wiener

Dear experts, 
Is it possible to use ks.test function to check the goodness of fit of the
conditional distribution Y|X=x? 
For example, I would like to check that my data (Y,X) come from
Norm(0.5+x,1) using KS. 
Thank you in advance, 
Victoria Landsman.
