Arguments

1:    $\mathbf{n}$ – IntegerInput

On entry: $n$, the number of observations.

Constraint: $\mathbf{n}>1$.

2:    $\mathbf{issort}$ – Nag_BooleanInput

On entry: set $\mathbf{issort}=\mathrm{Nag\_TRUE}$ if the observations are sorted in ascending order; otherwise the function will sort the observations.

3:    $\mathbf{y}\left[\mathbf{n}\right]$ – doubleInput/Output

On entry: $y_{\mathit{i}}$, for $\mathit{i}=1,2,\dots ,n$, the $n$ observations.

On exit: if $\mathbf{issort}=\mathrm{Nag\_FALSE}$, the data sorted in ascending order; otherwise the array is unchanged.

Constraint: if $\mathbf{issort}=\mathrm{Nag\_TRUE}$, the values must be sorted in ascending order. Each $y_i$ must lie in the interval $\left(0,1\right)$.

4:    $\mathbf{a2}$ – double *Output

On exit: $A^2$, the Anderson–Darling test statistic.

5:    $\mathbf{p}$ – double *Output

On exit: $p$, the upper tail probability for $A^2$.

6:    $\mathbf{fail}$ – NagError *Input/Output

The NAG error argument (see Section 3.7 in How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation).

Error Indicators and Warnings

NE_ALLOC_FAIL

Dynamic memory allocation failed.
See Section 2.3.1.2 in How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation for further information.

NE_BAD_PARAM

On entry, argument $〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$ had an illegal value.

NE_BOUND

The data in y must lie in the interval $\left(0,1\right)$.

NE_INT

On entry, $\mathbf{n}=〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$.
Constraint: $\mathbf{n}>1$.

NE_INTERNAL_ERROR

An internal error has occurred in this function. Check the function call and any array sizes. If the call is correct then please contact NAG for assistance.
See Section 2.7.6 in How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation for further information.

NE_NO_LICENCE

Your licence key may have expired or may not have been installed correctly.
See Section 2.7.5 in How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation for further information.

NE_NOT_INCREASING

$\mathbf{issort}=\mathrm{Nag\_TRUE}$ and the data in y is not sorted in ascending order.
