Notes

The test is used to check whether the sample follows a normal distribution. This test gives more importance to extreme values.

Examples

>>> import openturns as ot
>>> ot.RandomGenerator.SetSeed(0)
>>> distribution = ot.Normal()
>>> sample = distribution.getSample(30)
>>> test_result = ot.NormalityTest.AndersonDarlingNormal(sample)
>>> print(test_result)
