=head1 NAME
Statistics::Normality - test whether an empirical distribution can be taken as being drawn from a normally-distributed population
=head1 VERSION
Version 0.01
=cut
our $VERSION = '0.01';
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Statistics::Normality ':all';
use Statistics::Normality 'shapiro_wilk_test';
use Statistics::Normality 'dagostino_k_square_test';
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Various situations call for testing whether an empirical sample
can be presumed to have been drawn from a normally
(L<Gaussian|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_distribution>)
distributed population, especially because many downstream
significance tests depend upon the assumption of
normality.
This package implements some of the more
L<well-known tests|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normality_test>
from the mathematical statistics literature, though there
are also others that are not
included.
The tests here are all so-called I<omnibus> tests that
find departures from normality
on the basis of skewness and/or kurtosis [Dagostino71].
Note that, although the
L<Kolmogorov-Smirnov test|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kolmogorov%E2%80%93Smirnov_test>
can also be used in this capacity, it is a
I<distance> test and therefore not advisable [Dagostino71].
This, and other distance tests (e.g. Chi-square) are not implemented
here.
=head1 TESTS
The subtleties and esoterica of various statistical tests for
normality require some familiarity with the mathematical statistics
literature.
We give rules-of-thumb for specific tests, where they exist, but it may be
advisable to try several different tests to check the consistency of the
conclusion.
It is probably also a good idea to check results graphically, either by
direct plotting or by a L<Q-Q plot|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q-Q_plot>.
In general, small samples will often pass a normality test suggesting
the I<possibility> that there is insufficient information to detect
departure from normal for such cases, should it
exist.
Each of the methods here is a frequentist test, i.e. one that tests against the
L<null-hypothesis|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Null_hypothesis>
that the sample is
normal.
In other words, a low p-value recommends rejecting the
null.

# GENERAL IMPLEMENTATION NOTES FOR STATISTICAL TESTS
#
# (1) Use standard Horner's Rule for polynomial evaluations, see e.g. Forsythe,
# Malcolm, and Moler "Computer Methods for Mathematical Computations"
# (1977) Prentice-Hall, pp 68.
#
# (2) VAGARIES OF THE PERL Statistics::Distributions PACKAGE symmetric
# This package is implemented in the opposite way that one : |
# finds tables of the standard normal function presented in /:\ |
# textbooks, where F(z) = A1 is the area from -infinity to : / : \ |
# Z (or sometimes from 0 to Z). Instead, the Perl package :/ : \|
# gives f(z) = A2 as the area from Z to +infinity, i.e. / : \
# in the *context of a significance test*. Note the /: : |\
# following implications for this package: / : A1 | \
# / : : |A2\
# f(Z) = F(-Z) F(Z) + f(Z) + 1 __/___:___:___|___\___
# -Z 0 Z
# -1 -1 -1
# udistr: Z = f [f(Z)] = f [1 - F(Z)] = f (1 - A1)
#
# and the same appears to be true for other distributions in this package,
# e.g. chi-square, student's T, etc.
#
# (3) Tests that should perhaps be implemented in future versions:
#
# * Anderson-Darling test
# * Jarque-Bera test

# SHAPIRO-WILK TEST #
#######################
=head2 Shapiro-Wilk Test
The L<Shapiro-Wilk W-Statistic test|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shapiro%E2%80%93Wilk_test>
[Shapiro65] is considered to be among the most objective tests of
normality [Royston92] and also one of the most powerful ones for detecting
non-normality [Chen71].
Its statistic is essentially the roughly best unbiased estimator
of population standard deviation to the sample variance [Dagostino71].
The test is mathematically complex and most implementations use several
conventional approximations (as we do here), including Blom's formula
for the expected value of the order statistics [Harter61] and transformation
to standard normal distribution for evaluation, especially for large
samples [Royston92].
$pval = shapiro_wilk_test ([0.34, -0.2, 0.8, ...]);
($pval, $w_statistic) = shapiro_wilk_test ([0.34, -0.2, 0.8, ...]);
This test may not be the best if there are many repeated values in the test
distribution or when the number of points in the test distribution is very
large, e.g. more than 5000.
The routine will L<carp|Carp> about the latter, but not the
former.
This particular implementation of the test also requires at
least 6 data points in the sample distribution and will L<croak|Carp>
otherwise.

# IMPLEMENTATION NOTES FOR SHAPIRO-WILK TEST
#
# (1) THIS ROUTINE IS NON-TRIVIAL TO IMPLEMENT --- THE IMPLEMENTATION HERE
# ROUGHLY FOLLOWS THE EXPLANATIONS GIVEN IN A PAPER BY GUNER AND
# JOHNSON (GJ), EXCEPT WHERE THIS PAPER HAS ERRORS, AS NOTED IN THE
# CODE. A DRAFT OF THIS PAPER IS AVAILABLE AT:
#
# http://esl.eng.ohio-state.edu/~rstheory/iip/shapiro.pdf
#
# BUT NOTE THAT WE CHANGE THEIR 1->N VECTOR INDEX NOTATION TO 0->N-1 TO BE
# CONSISTENT WITH HOW PERL STORES LISTS
#
# (2) Size limits for empirical distributions to be tested. The log-standard
# normal transformation "Z-form" used here has been empirically shown to be
# good up to 2000 data points according to GJ, but GJ also claims up to
# 5000 is OK. This version that uses the Blom approximation also requires
# at least 6 points because the vector of m-values is anti-symmetric and
# 6 is the lowest number of members for which the numerator of epsilon
# does not vanish:
#
# num = M*M - 2[m_(n)^2 + m_(n-1)^2]
# = [m_(1)^2 + m_(2)^2 + m_(3)^2 +...+ m_(n)^2 - 2[m_(n)^2 + m_(n-1)^2]
#
# # points notes
# 1 no distribution (a point)
# 2 no distribution (a line)
# 3 m1 & m3 cancelled by 2*m3 and m2=0
# 4 termwise cancellation: m1 & m4 by 2*m4 and m2 & m3 by 2*m3
# 5 similar except m3 identically 0

# D'AGOSTINO K-SQUARE TEST #
##############################
=head2 D'Agostino K-Squared Test
The L<D'Agostino K-Squared test|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D%27Agostino%27s_K-squared_test> is a good test against non-normality arising from
L<kurtosis|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurtosis> and/or
L<skewness|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skewness> [Dagostino90].
$pval = dagostino_k_square_test ([0.34, -0.2, ...]);
($pval, $ksq_statistic) = dagostino_k_square_test ([0.34, -0.2, ...]);
The test statistic depends upon both the sample kurtosis and skewness, as
well as the moments of these parameters from a normal population, as quantified
by Pearson's coefficients [Pearson31].
These are transformed [Dagostino70,Anscombe83] to expressions that sum
to the K-squared statistic, which is essentially chi-square-distributed
with 2 degrees of
freedom [Dagostino90].
The kurtosis transform, and thus the overall test, generally works best
when the sample distribution has at least 20 data points [Anscombe83] and the
routine will L<carp|Carp>
otherwise.
