Another interesting visual technique is given by the
qreference() function in pkg:DAAG. I've used this type
of display effectively with non-stats people as well
as in teaching intro courses in stats.
(I would randomize the location of the actual-data panel
and not use a different colour. The question then is,
can you discern the actual data from the simulated data?)

Hi,

I think you can also use a qq-plot to do the same, no? You won't get a
statistic score + p.value, but perhaps you're more of a visual person?

Subject: [R] Normal distribution

Hi,

I am dealing with how to check in R if some data that I have belongs to a 
normal distribution or not. I am not interested in obtaining the theoreticall 
frequencies. I am only interested in determing if (by means of a test as 
Kolmogorov, or whatever), if my data are normal or not.

But I have tried with ks.test() and I have not got it.
