title: Implementing a Test of Underlying Normality for Censored Variables.
abstract: This article describes the implementation of a standard Pearson chi-square statistic to test the null hypothesis of bivariate normality for the latent variables in the Type 1 censored model and discussed the need for such test. The behavior of the statistic is assessed by means of a series of simulation studies and illustrated by means of an empirical example. The limitations of the test are also discussed.
