Historical Note on Kolmogorov-Smirnov Test
In $1933$, Andrey Nikolaevich Kolmogorov proposed a non-parametric test to determine whether a sample is consistent with a specified probability distribution.
It was extended by Nikolai Vasilyevich Smirnov in $1939$ to test whether two sample may have come from the same probability distribution.
