There are many tests for that; see, for instance,

?shapiro.test

Also, search the archives of this list.

[R] Quantative procedure assessing if data is normal

2009-04-12 Thread Henry Cooper




Hi,
 
As part of an R code assingment I have been asked to find a quantitative 
procedure for assessing whether or not the data are normal?
 
I have previously used the graphical procedure using the qqnorm command.
 
Any help/tips would be greatly appreciated as to how I should start going about 
this!
 
Henry

[R] Quantative procedure assessing if data is normal

2009-04-12 Thread Henry Cooper

Hi,

 

As part of an R code assingment I have been asked to find a quantitative 
procedure for assessing whether or not the data are normal?

 

I have previously used the graphical procedure using the qqnorm command.

 

Any help/tips would be greatly appreciated as to how I should start going about 
this!

 

Henry
