Hi Jan and Rene,
so far I neither used the chi2Test nor the KolmogorovTest, but as far as I
know from statistics, Kolmogorov is superior to chi2 in that sense that it
is sensitive to differences in shape while chi2 is better in taking into
account the histogram errors. So both tests have their own validity.
