Abstract:

The Shapiro--Wilk test (SW) and the Anderson--Darling test (AD) turned out to be strong procedures for testing for normality. They are joined by a class of tests for normality proposed by Epps and Pulley that, in contrary to SW and AD, have been extended by Baringhaus and Henze to yield easy-to-use affine invariant and universally consistent tests for normality in any dimension. The limit null distribution of the Epps--Pulley test involves a sequences of eigenvalues of a certain integral operator induced by the covariance kernel of the limiting Gaussian process. We solve the associated integral equation and present the corresponding eigenvalues.
