Abstract

A new test of normality with unknown parameters is proposed in this article. We introduce a Cramér–von Mises type statistic with weight function equal to the inverse of the standard normal density function supported in the interval [−an,an] depending on the sample size n. The sequence {an} is chosen so that the statistic goes to infinity and after subtracting the mean, a suitable test statistic is obtained, with the same asymptotic law as the well-known Shapiro–Wilk statistic. It is shown that the performance of the new test in many cases improves that of other well-known tests of normality.
