Inhoud:
We give a critical synopsis of classical and recent tests for univariate normality, our emphasis being on procedures which are consistent against all alternatives. The power performance of some selected tests (Anderson-Darling, Shapiro-Wilk, Shapiro-Francia, Epps-Pulley) is assessed in a simulation study. Numerical results are illuminated by plots of isodynes, i.e., lines of constant estimated power, for the Johnson-system of distributions.
