MVN package: Multivariate Normality Tests
نویسندگان
چکیده
Assessing the assumption of multivariate normality is required by many parametric multivariate statistical methods, such as discriminant analysis, principal component analysis, MANOVA, etc. Here, we present an R package to asses multivariate normality. The MVN package contains three most widely used multivariate normality tests, including Mardia’s, Henze-Zirkler’s and Royston’s multivariate normality tests.

MVN: An R Package for Assessing Multivariate Normality
Assessing the assumption of multivariate normality is required by many parametric multivariate statistical methods, such as MANOVA, linear discriminant analysis, principal component analysis, canonical correlation, etc. It is important to assess multivariate normality in order to proceed with such statistical methods. There are many analytical methods proposed for checking multivariate normalit...
متن کاملAn affine invariant multiple test procedure for assessing multivariate normality
Amultiple test procedure for assessing multivariate normality (MVN) that combines a finite set of affine invariant test statistics for MVN is proposed. This combination is based on a method introduced by Fromont and Laurent (Ann. Statist., 680–720, 34, 2006) that can be viewed as an improvement of the classical Bonferroni’s method. The usefulness of such approach is illustrated through a multip...
متن کاملPerformance analysis of powers of skewness and kurtosis based multivariate normality tests and use of extended Monte Carlo simulation for proposed novelty algorithm
An ample study of the comparative powers of a number of omnibus multivariate normality tests is main object in this paper. Since testing for multivariate normality tests is considerably more challenging process than for testing of univariate one and therefore, study of testing for multivariate normality tests has its increasing demand. Through this paper, we have explored several techniques for...
متن کاملThe welchADF Package for Robust Hypothesis Testing in Unbalanced Multivariate Mixed Models with Heteroscedastic and Non-normal Data
A new R package is presented for dealing with non-normality and variance heterogeneity of sample data when conducting hypothesis tests of main effects and interactions in mixed models. The proposal departs from an existing SAS program which implements Johansen’s general formulation of Welch-James’s statistic with approximate degrees of freedom, which makes it suitable for testing any linear hyp...
متن کاملRelaxing the Multivariate Normality Assumption in the Simulation 2 of Transportation System
1 2 By far the most popular method to account for dependencies in the transportation network analysis literature is the 3 use of the multivariate normal (MVN) distribution. While in certain cases there is some theoretical underpinning for 4 the MVN assumption, in others there is none. This can lead to misleading results: results do not only depend on 5 whether dependence is modeled, but also ho...
