I am writing to inquire about normality test given in nortest package. I have a random data set consisting of 300 samples. I am curious about which normality test in R would give me precise measurement, whether data sample is following normal distribution. As p value in each test is different in e

See: http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/Rhelp08/archive/136160.html But the issue really comes down to the fact that the questions: "exactly normal?", and "normal enough?" are 2 very different questions (with the difference becoming greater with increased sample size) and while the first is the eas

What is the distribution of the p-value when the null hypothesis is true? This is an important question that unfortunately tends to get glossed over or left out completely in many courses due to the amount of information that needs to be packed into them. For most appropriate tests, when the nu
