It computes Bowman and Shenton (1975)'s test statistic (MSK) and its corresponding p-value for multivariate normality. The statistic is calculated based on a combination of multivariate skewness (MS) and kurtosis (MK) such that MSK=MS+|MK|^2. For formulas of MS and MK, please refer to Mardia (1970). The corresponding p-value of the statistic is computed based on a simulated null distribution of MSK. The skewness statistic (MS) will be adjusted for sample size n < 20.
1 | msk(X, B = 1000)
|
X |
an n*p numeric matrix or data frame. |
B |
number of Monte Carlo simulations for null distribution, default is 1000 (increase B to increase the precision of p-value). |
Returns a list with two objects:
mv.test
results of the Bowman and Shenton test, i.e., test statistic, p-value, and multivariate normality summary (YES, if p-value>0.05).
uv.shapiro
a dataframe with p rows detailing univariate Shapiro-Wilk tests. Columns in the dataframe contain test statistics W, p-value,and univariate normality summary (YES, if p-value>0.05).
