Hmm thanks,
But on the other hand it just says i cant reject normality, which doesnt really mean it is normal. Wouldn´t be nice to test for non- normality ? if i´d reject that a high level i could be pretty sure it ´s normal... ??

thanks in advance

Hi: If normality is the HO, then the test below says don't reject ( large p value ). Check out any multivariate text for what the null of the shapiro test is. I don't know for sure but, from below, it sure looks like HO is
normality. Or google for it.

Subject: [R] shapiro wilk normality test

Hi everybody,

somehow i dont get the shapiro wilk test for normality. i just can´t
find what the H0 is .

i tried :

 shapiro.test(rnorm(5000))

        Shapiro-Wilk normality test

data:  rnorm(5000)
W = 0.9997, p-value = 0.6205


If normality is the H0, the test says it´s probably not normal, doesn
´t it ?

5000 is the biggest n allowed by the test...

are there any other test ? ( i know qqnorm already ;)

thanks in advance

matthias
