scipy.stats.normaltest

scipy.stats.normaltest(a, axis=0)

Tests whether skew and/or kurtosis of dataset differs from normal curve.

Parameters:

a : array

axis : int or None

Returns:

(Chi^2 score, :

2-tail probability)

Based on the D’Agostino and Pearson’s test that combines skew and :

kurtosis to produce an omnibus test of normality. :
