    $\begingroup$ "it is common that only some types of non-normality are of concern for a particular inferential procedure." - of course one should then use a test directed towards that type of non-normality. But the fact that one is using a normality test implies that he cares about all aspects of normality. The question is: is a normality test in that case a good option. $\endgroup$ Commented Jul 4, 2015 at 11:12

  • $\begingroup$ @kjetilbhalvorsen That was two years ago, and I do not recall now what I had in mind then. So, if you want that information, you, I, or anyone can either search for it, or better derive how such can be done form scratch. $\endgroup$ Commented Feb 5, 2019 at 13:05
