A graphical user interface for testing normality visually
The NormalityAssessment R package includes
an interactive Shiny application, which is run locally on the user’s
machine. It enables the creation of normal quantile-quantile (QQ) plots
and histograms for assessing normality. The methods implemented are
based on recent developments made in graphical inference. In the app,
the features in the ‘Explore Simulated Data’ tab enable the user to run
the Rorschach procedure, and those in the ‘Include Your Data’ tab allow
the user to run the line-up procedure. Details on these two procedures
can be found in the articles included in the References section
below.
The NormalityAssessment package can be installed from
either CRAN or
GitHub.
To install from CRAN, run the following code in R:
install.packages("NormalityAssessment")To install the package from GitHub, run the following code in
R:
install.packages("remotes") # installs the remotes package for accessing the install_github() function
remotes::install_github("ccasement/NormalityAssessment") # installs the NormalityAssessment packageThe NormalityAssessment application can be run using a
single line of code in R:
