Hi everybody, somehow i dont get the shapiro wilk test for normality. i just can?t find what the H0 is . i tried : shapiro.test(rnorm(5000)) Shapiro-Wilk normality test data: rnorm(5000) W = 0.9997, p-value = 0.6205 If normality is the H0, the test says it?s probably not normal, doesn ?t it ? 5000 is the biggest n allowed by the test... are there any other test ? ( i know qqnorm

HI: I'm still struggling with datasets, the more I read about it the more confussed I get. This is the scenario... In R console|Edit|Data Editor, I can find all the datasets available with the different packages, So to create a new dataset in the R console I use the following commands to create an empty data frame. My_Dataset <- data.frame() My_Dataset <- edit(My_dataset) The problem is

Dear Sir, I am writing to inquire about normality test given in nortest package. I have a random data set consisting of 300 samples. I am curious about which normality test in R would give me precise measurement, whether data sample is following normal distribution. As p value in each test is different in each test, if you could help me identifying a suitable test in R for this medium size of

Hi, I'm a newbie and i am unable to use lillie.test in nortest I have a message: "Couldn't find function "lillie.test" I am under windows2000 with R1.8.1 nortest is listed with .packages(TRUE) How to do to use lillie.test function? Laurent Houdusse Analyste Programmeur

I don't know from the nortest package, but it should ***always*** be the case that you test hypotheses H_0: The data have a normal distribution. vs. H_a: The data do not have a normal distribution. So if you get a p-value < 0.05 you can say that ***there is evidence*** (at the 0.05 significance level) that the data are not from a normal distribution. If the nortest package does

I believe there to be a bug in the cvm.test module of the nortest package authored by Juergen Gross. I do not know how to contact the author directly. I've been running some normality tests using the nortest package. For some of my datasets the Cramer-von Mises normality test generates an extremely high probability (e.g., 1.637e+31) and indicates normality when the other tests do

Manuel: I changed your variable names from x to 'long' and y to 'lat' on the riqueza_out.csv file. The code below should do what you want. Also, since the legend title is kind of long, I broke it down into three lines so you can see more plot area. I am cc'ing the other groups so more people use it if needed. library(rgdal) library(ggplot2) library(sp) library(maptools)

Hi there, I am trying to perform different normality tests in R. I have no problem when I use Shapiro.test( ). However, when I try to use any normality tests from the Nortest package, I kept getting this error " Error in read.table(source, header = T, fill = T) : 'file' must be a character string or connection". I have no idea why because there was no problem with

Hi, this is my first help request so please bear with me. I've been running some normality tests using the nortest package. For some of my datasets the Cramer-von Mises normality test generates an extremely high probability (e.g., 1.637e+31) and indicates normality when the other tests do not. Is there something I'm misunderstanding or potentially a bug in the code? Below are the

HI: Could someone help me with the seq function? I have a range of values starting from 1 to 52 but I want seq to start at 27 by=2, but when it reaches 51 start with with number 1 to 25. is this possible. I can do the basics of seq() but I can't figure how to do this one. This is how I want my sequence to look like: 27 29 31 33 35 37 ............51 1 3 5 7 9 11 13 ...........25 Felipe D.

Hi, I'm trying to run an anderson-darling test for normality on a given variable 'Y': ad.test(Y) I think I need the 'nortest' package, but since it does not appear in any of the Ubuntu repositories for 2.10.1, I am wondering if it goes by the name of something else now?

Hi: I have a dataframe named 'spring' and I am trying to add a new variable named 'IdDate' This line of code works fine: spring$idDate <- seq(as.Date("2008-07-01"),as.Date("2009-06-30"),by="week") But I don't want to hardcode the year because it will be used again the following year Is it possible to just generate dates with the month and

Hi: I am working on a publication and I have heard about LaTEX but I haven't actually tried to learn about it until today. I've found a few examples but I can't actually make them work properly. I have a couple of questions: Does LATEX have to be installed on your computer? How does the xtable package and Sweave work together? How can I make the code below create a table as pdf file?

Hi, This problem may be very easy, but I can't think of how to do it. I have constructed histograms of various variables in my dataset. Some of them are negatively skewed, and hence need data transformations applied. I know that you first need to reflect the negatively skewed data and then apply another transformation such as log, square root etc to bring it towards normailty. How is it
