Abstract

In this article, we propose a test of fit for normality based on the estimated Informational Energy and using m-step spacings. Consistency of the test statistic is established. Critical values and power values of the test against various alternatives are calculated. Finally, the power values of the proposed test are compared with the power values of some prominent normality tests.
