R help - Sep 2008 - How to do Epps-Pulley test?

Hi there,

Glad to meet you via internet.

I have two questions:
  1) Is there any implementation of Epps-Pulley test in R? What is it?
  2) To test normality, which test is (more) suitable, Shapiro-Wilk test
       or Epps-Pulley test? Given a data set of thousands of samples,
       etc. 10000.

Thanks

Marck

I don't know of any implementation of the Epps-Pulley test in R, but if your
really want to do normality testing on large samples, then the best (for one
definition of best) test is the one proposed in this message:
