The derived statistics are then compared with those used by the Shapiro-Wilk, the Anderson-Darling and the Cramer-von Mises tests. In particular, we preform Monte Carlo experiments, involving computations of the test power against some selected alternatives and wide range of sample sizes, which show efficiency of the obtained test procedures.
