  2. Normality test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normality_test

    Simple back-of-the-envelope test takes the sample maximum and minimum and computes their z-score, or more properly t-statistic (number of sample standard deviations that a sample is above or below the sample mean), and compares it to the 68–95–99.7 rule: if one has a 3σ event (properly, a 3s event) and substantially fewer than 300 samples, or a 4s event and substantially fewer than 15,000 ...

  3. Shapiro–Wilk test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shapiro–Wilk_test

    The Shapiro–Wilk test tests the null hypothesis that a sample x 1, ..., x n came from a normally distributed population. The test statistic is = (= ()) = (¯), where with parentheses enclosing the subscript index i is the ith order statistic, i.e., the ith-smallest number in the sample (not to be confused with ).

  4. D'Agostino's K-squared test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D'Agostino's_K-squared_test

    In the following, { x i } denotes a sample of n observations, g 1 and g 2 are the sample skewness and kurtosis, m j ’s are the j-th sample central moments, and ¯ is the sample mean. Frequently in the literature related to normality testing, the skewness and kurtosis are denoted as √ β 1 and β 2 respectively.

  5. Lilliefors test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lilliefors_test

    Lilliefors test is a normality test based on the Kolmogorov–Smirnov test.It is used to test the null hypothesis that data come from a normally distributed population, when the null hypothesis does not specify which normal distribution; i.e., it does not specify the expected value and variance of the distribution. [1]

  6. One- and two-tailed tests - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-_and_two-tailed_tests

    A two-tailed test applied to the normal distribution. A one-tailed test, showing the p-value as the size of one tail. In statistical significance testing, a one-tailed test and a two-tailed test are alternative ways of computing the statistical significance of a parameter inferred from a data set, in terms of a test statistic. A two-tailed test ...

  7. Shapiro–Francia test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shapiro–Francia_test

    The Shapiro–Francia test is a statistical test for the normality of a population, based on sample data. It was introduced by S. S. Shapiro and R. S. Francia in 1972 as a simplification of the Shapiro–Wilk test .

  8. Z-test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z-test

    A t-test can be used to account for the uncertainty in the sample variance when the data are exactly normal. Difference between Z-test and t-test: Z-test is used when sample size is large (n>50), or the population variance is known. t-test is used when sample size is small (n<50) and population variance is unknown.

  9. Normal score - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_score

    A given data point is assigned a value which is either exactly, or an approximation, to the expectation of the order statistic of the same rank in a sample of standard normal random variables of the same size as the observed data set. [1] Thus the meaning of a normal score of this type is essentially the same as a rankit, although the term ...
