Kolmogorov-Smirnov

William-85
Forgive me if this a neophyte kind of question, buy what is the difference
between the non-parametric One-Sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and the same
named test within the Explore procedure?  I fear I've been moving along in
blissful ignorance here until I noticed the Explore procedure K-S is
considerably more conservative in what it considers a significant departure
from normal.

Are there advantages to one or the other?  Are there theoretical reasons for
using one or the other?

Should I try to return to my previous blissful, if likely horribly wrong, state?

Thanks,

William
