The …nite-sample null distribution of the Jarque-Bera Lagrange multiplier test for normality di¤ers considerably from the asymptotic 2 (2). However, asymptotic critical values are commonly used in applied work, even for relatively small sample sizes. Here, we develop very accurate response surface approximations for the 10% and 5% critical values of the test, which enable correct practical implementation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
