Abstract
The OLS estimator is a weighted average of the slopes delineated by adjacent observations. These weights depend only on the independent variable. Equal weights are obtained if and only if the independent variable is normally distributed. This feature is used to develop a new test for normality which is compared to standard tests and provides better power for testing normality.
