Abstract
Often within computer classification of LANDSAT multispectral scanner data into terrain classes, we assume multivariate normality for distributions of data samples within each class to bring to bear on our problem the extensive body of statistical methods applicable for analysis of normally distributed multivariate data. Thus, it would seem desirable to have some means of evaluating, at least relatively, the legitimacy of our assumption of the multivariate normal or Gaussian model.
