Key Points Normality refers to how your data fits into a normal distribution. You can find out if your data is uniform by conducting a normality test. Normality tests are a fast way of determining ...

A tractable location and scale invariant test for normality against all symmetric alternatives is proposed. The test statistic closely approximates a combination of two traditional test statistics, ...

Confronted with non-normally distributed data, many geographers prefer to adopt nonparametric methods when analyzing the results of their research. The present paper argues that, provided the ...
