Why do we test for normality?

A normality test is used to determine whether sample data has been drawn from a normally distributed population (within some tolerance). A number of statistical tests, such as the Student’s t-test and the one-way and two-way ANOVA require a normally distributed sample population.

Is Shapiro test reliable?

Results show that Shapiro-Wilk test is the most powerful normality test, followed by Anderson-Darling test, Lillie/ors test and Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. However, the power of all four tests is still low for small sample size. Assessing the assumption of normality is required by most statistical procedures.
