Empirical Distribution Function Based Statistics for Testing High Dimensional Normality

  • Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS), Cramer-von Mises (CM) and Anderson-Darling (AD) test, which are based on empirical distribution function (EDF), are well-known statistics in testing univariate normality. In this paper, we focus on the high dimensional case and propose a family of generalized EDF based statistics to test the high-dimensional normal distribution by reducing the dimension of the variable. Not only can we approximate the corresponding critical values of three statistics by Monte Carlo method, we also can investigate the approximate distributions of proposed statistics based on approximate formulas in univariate case under null hypothesis. The Monte Carlo simulation is carried out to demonstrate that the performance of proposed statistics is more competitive than existing methods under some alternative hypotheses. Finally, the proposed tests are applied to real data to illustrate their utility.
