Abstract

Using the Transformed Lorenz curve which is introduced by Cho et al.(1999) we propose the test statistic for testing of normality that is very important test in statistical analysis and compare the proposed test statistic with the Shapiro and Wilk's W test statistic in terms of the power of test through by Monte Carlo method.
