Is your data really normal? Find out in one tap.
Anderson-Darling Test is a fast, fully offline tool that checks whether your numbers follow a normal (bell-shaped) distribution. It runs the Anderson-Darling test of normality - the test that weights the TAILS most, so outliers, skew and fat tails get caught where other tests miss them - and gives you a clear, plain-language verdict: keep normality, or reject it.
No accounts. No internet needed. No data leaves your phone.
WHAT YOU GET
- A clear PASS / FAIL verdict with the adjusted A* statistic judged against the 5% critical value (0.787).
- The exact numbers: A-squared (raw), A* (adjusted), the p-value, the widest gap, the mean, the standard deviation and the sample size.
- A p-value from the D'Agostino & Stephens approximation, computed entirely on-device.
VISUALS THAT EXPLAIN THE TEST
- Empirical CDF vs the fitted normal curve: your data's green staircase laid over the grape normal S-curve, with the widest gap marked - the very thing Anderson-Darling measures.
- A* gauge: the adjusted statistic on a track with the 5% critical mark; green when normal, rose when not.
- Q-Q plot and a histogram with the fitted normal curve, for a second look at skew and tails.
All charts are drawn natively - light, smooth and offline.
EASY DATA ENTRY
- Type or paste your values (comma or space separated, thousand-separator friendly).
- In the simulator, set the sample size three ways: type the number, tap the - / + steppers, or drag the slider.
LEARN, NOT JUST CALCULATE
- Idea: what "normally distributed" means and why Anderson-Darling weights the tails, with the formulas rendered offline.
- Sim: pick a shape - bell, uniform, right-skew, heavy tails or bimodal - and watch A* react in real time.
- Cases: worked real datasets (symmetric heights that pass; right-skewed income and an easy exam that fail) so you can see the verdict change.
WHO IT'S FOR
- Students and teachers in statistics, data science and the sciences.
- Researchers, analysts and engineers who need a quick normality check before a t-test, ANOVA or regression.
- Anyone curious about whether the bell-curve assumption actually holds for their data.
THE MATH (TRANSPARENT)
A-squared = -n - (1/n) * sum (2i-1) [ ln Fi + ln(1 - F(n+1-i)) ], with Fi the fitted normal CDF.
A* = A-squared * (1 + 0.75/n + 2.25/n^2), judged against the published critical scale
(0.576 / 0.656 / 0.787 / 0.918 / 1.092). Normal samples give A* near 0.15 (p near 1); a strong
right-skew gives A* near 1.57 (p near 0).
