Hello r-group
I have a question to the ks.test.
I would expect different values for less and greater between data1 and 
data2.
Does anybody could explain  my point of misunderstanding the function?

data1<-c(8,12,43,70)
data2<- c(70,43,12,8)

ks.test(data1,"pnorm")
ks.test(data1,"pnorm",alternative ="less")    #expected < 0.001
ks.test(data1,"pnorm",alternative ="greater") #expected =1


ks.test(data2,"pnorm")
ks.test(data2,"pnorm",alternative ="less")  #expected =1
ks.test(data2,"pnorm",alternative ="greater") #expected < 0.001


With regards Carmen
