Abstract

By using the theory of spherical distributions and some properties of invariant statistics, we develop a stabilized uniform Q-Q plot for checking the multinormality assumption in high-dimensional data analysis. Acceptance regions associated with the plot are given. Empirical performance of the acceptance regions is studied by Monte Carlo simulation. Application of the Q-Q plot is illustrated by a real data set.
