The Cramer-von Mises test is an EDF omnibus test for the composite hypothesis of normality. The test statistic is
W = 1/(12n) + ∑_{i=1}^n (p_(i) - (2i-1)/(2n))^2,
where p_{(i)} = Φ([x_{(i)} - \overline{x}]/s). Here, Φ is the cumulative distribution function of the standard normal distribution, and \overline{x} and s are mean and standard deviation of the data values. The p-value is computed from the modified statistic Z=W (1.0 + 0.5/n) according to Table 4.9 in Stephens (1986).
