Abstract

This paper introdLlces the normal probability plot correlation coefficient as a test statistic in complete samples for the composite hypothesis of normality. The proposed test statistic is conceptnally simple, is compntationally convenient, and is readily extendible to testing non-normal distributional hypotheses. An empirical power strldy shows that the normal probability plot correlation coefficient, compares favorably with 7 other normal test statistics. Percent points are tabulated for n = 3(l)50(5)100.
