Colleagues,

I am trying to get the Shapiro-Wilks Statistics and having a difficult time in SPSS v27 (Mac; release 27.0.0.0; 64-bit) running on Catalina. According to the manual, the following syntax (generated by point-and-click methods) should work. It produces the K-S test, but not W-S test:

EXAMINE VARIABLES=F1

  /PLOT BOXPLOT HISTOGRAM NPPLOT

  /COMPARE GROUPS

  /MESTIMATORS HUBER(1.339) ANDREW(1.34) HAMPEL(1.7,3.4,8.5) TUKEY(4.685)

  /PERCENTILES(5,10,25,50,75,90,95) HAVERAGE

  /STATISTICS DESCRIPTIVES EXTREME

  /CINTERVAL 95

  /MISSING LISTWISE

  /NOTOTAL.

What am I doing/not doing such that the Shapiro-Wilks test statistic is not produced? What do I do to fix it?

Thanks!

Harley
