Tóm tắt	The two-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test is a nonparametric procedure that asks whether two independent groups are drawn from the same continuous distribution. Building on Smirnov's 1948 tables, it compares the empirical cumulative distribution functions (CDFs) of the two samples and uses their maximum absolute distance as the test statistic.	The Levene and Brown-Forsythe test checks whether two or more groups share the same variance (homogeneity of variance). Levene (1960) built the test on absolute deviations from each group mean, and Brown and Forsythe (1974) made it robust to non-normal data by centring on the group median instead.
