For ten population sizes I from 5 to 30 individuals, the table indicates the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test threshold Kth for type I error rates equal to .05 (column 2) and .01 (column 5). Column 3 and 6 indicate the minimum number n min of p-values required for the UKS test to be significant. These p-values have to be lower than the limit pmin indicated in columns 4 and 7. Note that the UKS test is significant as soon as n min + m p-values are below pmin + m/I for any m between 0 and I-n min. By construction, the limit for I p-values is equal to 1-Kth.
