Hello,
Could someone help me to explain the VERY big difference in applying two
tests on multivariate normality:
library(mvnormtest)
data(EuStockMarkets)
mshapiro.test(t(EuStockMarkets[15:29,1:4]))
         Shapiro-Wilk normality test
data:  Z
W = 0.8161, p-value = 0.005955
and
library(energy)
mvnorm.etest( EuStockMarkets[15:29,1:4] )
         Energy test of multivariate normality: estimated parameters
data:  x, sample size 15, dimension 4, replicates 999
E-statistic = 1.0041, p-value = 0.2482
Many thanks,
Rem
