Shapiro-Wilk Multivariate Normality Test
Description
Performs the Shapiro-Wilk test for multivariate normality.
Usage
mshapiro.test(U)
Arguments
| U | a numeric matrix of data values, the number of which must be for each sample between 3 and 5000. | 
Value

| statistic | the value of the Shapiro-Wilk statistic. | 
| p.value | the p-value for the test. | 
| method | the character string  | 
| data.name | a character string giving the name(s) of the data. |
