We prove that under mild regularity conditions, the sample skewness is the locally best invariant (LBI) test of normality against a wide class of asymmetric families and the kurtosis is the LBI test against symmetric families. We also discuss non-regular cases such as testing normality against the stable family and some related results in the multivariate cases.Statistics Theory62G10text
