Test for Normality

This test is not optimal for testing normality, e.g. of residuals.

  1. Moments tests are better suited to the normal distribution.

  2. Modeling methods generally only require approximate normality.

  3. With a sufficiently large sample size, a null hypothesis that the residuals are normal will always be rejected.
