normalScoresTest: Lu-Smith Normal Scores Test

Description

Performs the Lu-Smith normal score test

Usage

normalScoresTest(x, ...)

# S3 method for default normalScoresTest(x, g, ...)

# S3 method for formula normalScoresTest(formula, data, subset, na.action, ...)

Arguments

x

a numeric vector of data values, or a list of numeric data vectors.

further arguments to be passed to or from methods.

g

a vector or factor object giving the group for the corresponding elements of "x". Ignored with a warning if "x" is a list.

formula

a formula of the form response ~ group where response gives the data values and group a vector or factor of the corresponding groups.

data

an optional matrix or data frame (or similar: see model.frame) containing the variables in the formula formula. By default the variables are taken from environment(formula).

subset

an optional vector specifying a subset of observations to be used.

na.action

a function which indicates what should happen when the data contain NAs. Defaults to getOption("na.action").

Value

A list with class "htest" containing the following components:

method

a character string indicating what type of test was performed.

data.name

a character string giving the name(s) of the data.

statistic

the estimated quantile of the test statistic.

p.value

the p-value for the test.

parameter

the parameters of the test statistic, if any.

alternative

a character string describing the alternative hypothesis.

estimates

the estimates, if any.

null.value

the estimate under the null hypothesis, if any.

Details

For one-factorial designs with non-normally distributed residuals the Lu-Smith normal score test can be performed to test the H\(_0: F_1(x) = F_2(x) = \ldots = F_k(x)\) against the H\(_\mathrm{A}: F_i (x) \ne F_j(x) ~ (i \ne j)\) with at least one strict inequality. This function is basically a wrapper function to pNormScore of the package SuppDists.
