mvShapiro.Test {mvShapiroTest} | R Documentation |
Given a d-dimensional random sample of size n, this function computes the test statistic and p-value of the Shapiro-Wilk test for multivariate normality proposed by Villasenor-Alva and Gonzalez-Estrada (2009).
mvShapiro.Test(X)
X |
Numeric data matrix with d columns (vector dimension) and n rows (sample size). |
n must be larger than d.
When d=1, mvShapiro.Test(X)
produces the same results as shapiro.test(X)
.
A list with class "htest"
containing the following components.
statistic |
the value of the generalized Shapiro-Wilk statistic for testing multivariate normality. |
p.value |
the p-value of the test. |
method |
the character string "Generalized Shapiro-Wilk test for multivariate normality". |
data.name |
a character string giving the name of the data set. |
