Robust test of normalityIf we know the statistics of central tendency and dispersion, we still cannot nature a complete design about the distribution. About these measures we should know more information's of skewness and kurtosis, which are enables us to have a design the distribution. However,...
One may do an “eyeball test” on measures of skewness and kurtosis when deciding whether or not a sample is “normal enough” to use an inferential procedure that assumes normality of the population(s). If you wish to test the null hypothesis that the sample came from a normal population...
Related to the above approach is theJarque-Barre(JB) test for normality which tests the null hypothesis that data from a sample of sizenwith skewnessskewand kurtosiskurt.This test is based on the following property when the null hypothesis holds. For Example 1 based on using the Excel workshe...

The effect of nonnormality on the size of the size of the one-sample Hotelling's T2test is studied empirically with the help of these measures, and it is found that Hotelling's T2test is more sensitive to the measure of skewness than to the measures of kurtosis. 展开 ...

and work in them. Unfortunately ln(weight) is also skewed. Stas Kolenikov To Nick: yes, I've used skewness and kurtosis to test for normality a bunch of times (and there's a famous Mardia's multivariate generalization that I programmed up :)). But frankly I personally ...
Skewness, Kurtosis, and the Normal Curve偏度,峰度,和正常的曲线.doc,Skewness, Kurtosis, and the Normal Curve( Skewness In everyday language, the terms “skewed” and “askew” are used to refer to something that is out of line or distorted on one side.
