v.normal(1grass)            GRASS GIS User's Manual           v.normal(1grass)

NAME
       v.normal  - Tests for normality for vector points.

KEYWORDS
       vector, statistics, points, point pattern

SYNOPSIS
       v.normal
       v.normal --help
       v.normal  [-rl]  map=name  [layer=string]  tests=range[,range,...] col-
       umn=name  [--help]  [--verbose]  [--quiet]  [--ui]

   Flags:
       -r
           Use only points in current region

       -l
           Lognormality instead of normality

       --help
           Print usage summary

       --verbose
           Verbose module output

       --quiet
           Quiet module output

       --ui
           Force launching GUI dialog

   Parameters:
       map=name [required]
           Name of vector map
           Or data source for direct OGR access

       layer=string
           Layer number or name
           Vector features can have category values in different layers.  This
           number determines which layer to use. When used with direct OGR ac-
           cess this is the layer name.
           Default: 1

       tests=range[,range,...] [required]
           Lists of tests (1-15)
           E.g. 1,3-8,13

       column=name [required]
           Name of attribute column

DESCRIPTION
       v.normal computes tests of normality on vector points.

NOTES
       The tests that v.normal performs are indexed below.  The tests that are
       performed  are specified by giving an index, ranges of indices, or mul-
       tiple thereof.

       1      Sample skewness and kurtosis

       2      Geary’s a-statistic and an approximate normal transformation

       3      Extreme normal deviates

       4      D’Agostino’s D-statistic

       5      Modified Kuiper V-statistic

       6      Modified Watson U^2-statistic

       7      Durbin’s Exact Test (modified Kolmogorov)

       8      Modified Anderson-Darling statistic

       9      Modified Cramer-Von Mises W^2-statistic

       10     Kolmogorov-Smirnov D-statistic (modified for normality testing)

       11     Chi-Square test statistic (equal probability  classes)  and  the
              number of degrees of freedom

       12     Shapiro-Wilk W Test

       13     Weisberg-Binghams W’’ (similar to Shapiro-Francia’s W’)

       14     Royston’s extension of W for large samples

       15     Kotz Separate-Families Test for Lognormality vs. Normality

EXAMPLE
       Compute  the  sample  skewness and kurtosis, Geary’s a-statistic and an
       approximate normal transformation, extreme normal deviates,  and  Roys-
       ton’s W for the random vector points:
       g.region raster=elevation -p
       v.random random n=200
       v.db.addtable random column="elev double precision"
       v.what.rast random rast=elevation column=elev
       v.normal random tests=1-3,14 column=elev
