R help - Apr 2007 - [newbie] mesuring adequation of normal distribution with a variable

Hello,

I'm looking for a way of mesuring the adequation of a given variable with
the normal distribution. Does R provide a standard test for this purpose,
or is there a statistical methodology?

Best,
Sylvain Loiseau

I am not sure what you mean with adequation, but maybe ?shapiro.test is
what you are looking for?

BW,

Marco
