New tests for normality

HANNU OJA

Department of Applied Mathematics and Statistics, University of Oulu Finland

A family of statistics for testing normality is presented which includes new tests for skewness, kurtosis and bimodality alternatives. The tests are simple to use and their power properties seem to be as good as those of the very similar U-statistics given by Oja (1981).

Key Words: Bimodality • Kurtosis • Skewness • Testing normality • U-statistic
