摘要：

The Shapiro-Wilk statistic and its modifications are widely used for assessing the assumption that a sample was drawn from a normal distribution. Many of the modifications simplified the calculation of the test statistic but resulted in a loss of power. In this paper, we propose an alternative statistic for testing normality which is easy to compute and has power comparable or superior to the original W test.
