How do you test for normality in SAS?
In SAS, there are four test statistics for detecting the presence of non-normality, namely, the Shapiro-Wilk (Shapiro & Wilk, 1965), the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, Cramer von Mises test, and the Anderson-Darling test.
How do I know if my data is normally distributed in SAS?
There is a test called Shapiro-Wilk W test that can be used to check normal distribution. If the p-value is greater than . 05, it means we cannot reject the null hypothesis that a variable is normally distributed.

How do you test univariate normality?
Tests of univariate normality include the following:
- D’Agostino’s K-squared test,
- Jarque–Bera test,
- Anderson–Darling test,
- Cramér–von Mises criterion,
- Kolmogorov–Smirnov test (this one only works if the mean and the variance of the normal are assumed known under the null hypothesis),
How do you interpret the p value for Kolmogorov-Smirnov?
The p-value is the probability of obtaining a test statistic (such as the Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistic) that is at least as extreme as the value that is calculated from the sample, when the data are normal. Larger values for the Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistic indicate that the data do not follow the normal distribution.
How do you know when to use normality test?
For quick and visual identification of a normal distribution, use a QQ plot if you have only one variable to look at and a Box Plot if you have many. Use a histogram if you need to present your results to a non-statistical public. As a statistical test to confirm your hypothesis, use the Shapiro Wilk test.
