ks.test "greater" and "less"

2006/12/15, Carmen Meier <carmei3 at web.de>:
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

Possible  you are unable to use the Kolmogorov?Smirnov test given that
the sample size is small.
