Testing for normality has always been a center of practical and theoretical interest in statistical research. In this paper a test statistic for bivariate normality is proposed. The underlying idea is to investigate all the possible linear combinations that reduce to the standard normal distribution under the null hypothesis and compare the order statistics of them with the theoretical normal quantiles. The suggested statistic is invariant with respect to nonsingular matrix multiplication and vector addition. We show that the limit distribution of an approximation to the suggested statistic is represented as the supremum over an index set of the integral of a suitable Gaussian Process. We also simulate the null distribution of the statistic and give some critical values of the distribution and power results.

Using the Transformed Lorenz curve which is introduced by Cho et al.(1999) we propose the test statistic for testing of normality that is very important test in statistical analysis and compare the proposed test statistic with the Shapiro and Wilk's W test statistic in terms of the power of test through by Monte Carlo method.

In this paper, we consider the panel data regression model in which the disturbances have nested error component. We derive a Lagrange Multiplier(LM) test which is jointly testing for the presence of random individual effects and nested effects under the normality assumption of the disturbances. This test extends the earlier work of Breusch and Pagan(1980) and Baltagi and Li(1991). Further, it is shown that this LM test has the same asymptotic distribution without normality assumption of the disturbances.

Huffer and Park (2002) proposed a chi-squared test for multivariate structure. Their test detects the deviation of data from mutual independence or multivariate normality. We will compute the Rao-Robson chi-squared version of the test, which is easy to apply in practice since it has a limiting chi-squared distribution. We will provide a self-contained argument that it has a limiting chi-squared distribution. We study the accuracy in finite samples of the limiting distribution. We finally compare the power of our test with those of other popular normality tests in an application to a real data.

This study discusses Johnson's $S_U$-normal distribution capturing a wide range of non-normality in various regression models. We provide the likelihood inference using Johnson's $S_U$-normal distribution, and propose a likelihood ratio (LR) test for normality. We also apply the $S_U$-normal distribution to the binary and censored regression models. Monte Carlo simulations are used to show that the LR test using the $S_U$-normal distribution can be served as a model specification test for normal error distribution, and that the $S_U$-normal maximum likelihood (ML) estimators tend to yield more reliable marginal effect estimates in the binary and censored model when the error distributions are non-normal.

Arizono and Ohta(1989) studied goodness of fit test of normality using the entropy estimator proposed by Vasicek (1976) Recently van Es(1992) and Correa(1995) proposed an estimator of entropy. In this paper we propose goodness of fit test statistics for normality based on Vasicek ven Es and Correa. And we compare the power of the proposed test statistics with Kolmogorov-Smirnov Kuiper Cramer von Mises Watson Anderson-Darling and Finkelstein and Schefer statistics.

The Jarque and Bera (1980) statistic is one of the well known statistics to test univariate normality. It is based on the sample skewness and kurtosis which are the sample standardized third and fourth moments. Desgagné and de Micheaux (2018) proposed an alternative form of the Jarque-Bera statistic based on the sample second power skewness and kurtosis. In this paper, we generalize the statistic to a multivariate version by considering some data driven directions. They are directions given by the normalized standardized scaled residuals. The statistic is a modified multivariate version of Kim (2021), where the statistic is generalized using an empirical standardization of the scaled residuals of data. A simulation study reveals that the proposed statistic shows better power when the dimension of data is big.

We provide a simple chi-squared test of multivariate normality based on rectangular cells on the spherical data. This test is simple since it is a direct extension of the univariate chi-squared test to multivariate case and the expected cell counts are easily computed. We derive the limiting distribution of the chi-squared statistic via the conditional limit theorems. We study the accuracy in finite samples of the limiting distribution and then compare the poser of our test with those of other popular tests in an application to a real data.

We propose a new logistic regression model of normality curves for normal(diseased) and abnormal(nondiseased) classifications by neural networks in data mining. The fitted logistic regression lines are estimated, interpreted and plotted by the neural network technique. A few goodness-of-fit test statistics for normality are discussed and the performances by the fitted logistic regression lines are conducted.

이 논문에서는 비선형 변환과 가능도 함수를 이용하여 다변량 자료의 정규성을 검정하는 방법에 대해 알아본다. 사용된 변환은 변환모수에 따라 여러 가지 형태를 가지는 변환족을 구성하는데 이 변환모수를 검정하여 자료의 정규성을 검정한다. 모수의 검정은 점수함수(score function)을 기초로 이루어지며 표본크기가 적은 경우에도 검정통계량의 분포를 유도하기 위한 모수적 붓스트랩 검정방법이 사용된다. 모의실험 결과 기존의 방법과 검정력을 비교하여 제안된 방법이 검정력이 높은 것으로 나타났다.
