Well, unfortunately, this is going to be a case of a novice giving
advice to a novice as I'm just learning this too and was recently having
problem with the normality tests.
The source of your problem is the read.table command and the data
structure it creates. I have never used it and am too lazy now to read
about it for you. :) I've used the scan method instead, as follows:
> library("nortest")
> A <- scan("tmp")
Read 9 items
> summary(A)
Min. 1st Qu. Median Mean 3rd Qu. Max.
1 3 5 5 7 9
> A
[1] 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
> ad.test(A)
Anderson-Darling normality test
data: A
A = 0.1368, p-value = 0.9606
Good luck!
