[R] normality testing with nortest

[Raymond Wan]

Hi all,

 	I have a question regarding normality testing with the nortest 
package.  I have to admit, my question is so general that it might more be 
suited a newsgroup such as sci.math.  However, just in case it is 
implemented differently, I was hoping someone who has used it can help me 
out.

 	I just want to double check that for all of the tests, the null 
hypothesis is whether or not the input distribution *differs* with the 
normal distribution.  So, if you get a p-value less than (say) 0.05, you 
can reject the null hypothesis at a 95% confidence level and say that the 
input distribution is *not* normal.

 	So these tests check/confirm whether a distribution is not 
normal...as opposed to confirming that it is normal.  Does this sound 
about right?
