Tariq Jameel, commonly referred to as Maulana Tariq Jameel, is a Pakistani religious and Islamic scholar, preacher, and public speaker from Pakistan. He is listed as a popular speaker in the 2013/2014 edition of the book The Muslim 500. In May 2014, the International Human Rights Commission Chief Ambassador met Tariq Jameel along with Asad Bashir and Veena Malik at Dubai and thanked him for promoting the true picture of Islam.
Most multivariate techniques, such as Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA), Factor Analysis, MANOVA and Multivariate Regression are based on an assumption of multivariate normality. So, In this post, I am going to show you how you can assess the multivariate normality for the variables in your sample. The above test multivariate techniques can be used in a sample only when the variables follow a Multivariate normal distribution.
For this, you need to install a package called MVN Type install.packages("MVN")and then load the package using R command library(“MVN”)
There are 3 different multivariate normality tests available in this package
1.Mardia's Multivariate Normality Test
2.Henze-Zirkler's Multivariate Normality Test
3.Royston's Multivariate Normality Test
Let's discuss these test in brief here, I am using inbuilt trees data here data(“trees”). This data consists of 3 variables I.e Girth, Height and volume.
First, we use Mardia's test to verify the normality for the above data Type mardiaTest(trees) This will return the results of normality test with 3 variables in it. Data is not multivariate normal when the p-value is less than 0.05 . When you want to check Multivariate normality of selected variables. Create a subset. Let’s create a subset under name trees1 that includes 1st and 3rd variables using the command Trees1<-trees[c(1,3)].
Now let's check normality of trees1 using Henze-Zirkler's Test Type hzTest(trees1) .
To use Royston's Multivariate Normality Test Type roystonTest(trees1). So, That is how you can test the multivariate normality of variables using R. Give your queries and suggestions in comment section below.

Every year, the World Bank's World Development Report takes on a topic of central importance to global development. The 2018 Report, Learning to Realize Education's Promise, is the first ever devoted entirely to education. Now is an excellent time for it: education has long been critical for human welfare, but is even more so in a time of rapid economic change. The Report explores four main themes. First, education's promise: Education is a powerful instrument for eradicating poverty and promoting shared prosperity, but fulfilling its potential requires better policies - both within and outside the education system. Second, the learning crisis: Despite gains in education access, recent learning assessments show that many young people around the world, especially from poor families, are leaving school unequipped with even the most foundational skills they need for life. At the same time, internationally comparable learning assessments show that skills in many middle-income countries lag far behind what those countries aspire to. Third, promising interventions to improve learning: Research from areas such as brain science, pedagogical innovations, or school management have identified interventions that promote learning by ensuring that learners are prepared, that teachers are skilled as well as motivated, and that other inputs support the teacher-learner relationship. Fourth, learning at scale: Achieving learning throughout an education system will require more than just scaling up effective interventions. Change requires overcoming technical and political barriers by deploying salient metrics for mobilizing actors and tracking progress, building coalitions for learning, and being adaptive when implementing programs.
