#' Test of Normailty -- Robust Jarque--Bera Test
#' 
#' The robust and classical Jarque--Bera tests of normality.
#' 
#' @details The test is based on a joint statistic using skewness and kurtosis
#' coefficients. The Robust Jarque--Bera (RJB) is the robust version of
#' the Jarque--Bera (JB) test of normality. The RJB (default option) utilizes
#' the robust standard deviation (specifically, 
#' the Average Absolute Deviation from the Median; MAAD) 
#' to estimate sample kurtosis and skewness. For more details, see 
#' \insertCite{Gel_Gastwirth_2008;textual}{lawstat}. Users can also choose to 
#' perform the classical Jarque--Bera test \insertCite{Jarque_Bera_1980}{lawstat}.
#' 
#' @note Modified from \code{\link[tseries]{jarque.bera.test}} 
#' (\code{tseries} package).

#'
#' @param x a numeric vector of data values.
#' @param option the choice of whether to perform the robust test, \code{"RJB"} 
#' (default) or classic test, \code{"JB"}.
#' @param crit.values a character string specifying how the critical values 
#' should be obtained: approximated by the Chi-square distribution (default) 
#' or empirically.
#' @param N number of Monte Carlo simulations for the empirical critical values.

#' @return A list of class \code{"htest"} with the following components:
#' \item{statistic}{the value of the test statistic.}
#' \item{parameter}{the degrees of freedom.}
#' \item{p.value}{the \eqn{p}-value of the test.}
#' \item{method}{type of test was performed.}
