Remarks

Phase 3 ships exactly these three tests. Anderson–Darling is the recommended default because it gives good power across the tail region that matters most for capability interpretation.

Members

AndersonDarling0 The Anderson–Darling test. This is the default for Phase 3 convenience workflows. It gives extra weight to the tails of the distribution and performs well for the sample sizes typical in SPC capability analysis.
ShapiroWilk1 The Shapiro–Wilk test. Works best for samples up to a few hundred observations and is widely cited in statistical process control literature.
KolmogorovSmirnov2 The Kolmogorov–Smirnov test (one-sample, comparing against a fully specified normal distribution). Suitable when the theoretical parameters are known; otherwise the Lilliefors correction applies.
