Abstract:
We present a new command, qctest, to implement tests for normality of a random variable based on the quantile-mean covariance. The test procedures are based on recent results by Bera et al. (2016, Econometric Theory 32: 1216– 1252) and are an efficient alternative to existing normality tests in the literature. Copyright 2016 by StataCorp LP.
