摘要：

We propose two new tests for symmetry based on well-known characterisations of symmetric distributions. The performance of the new tests is evaluated and compared to that of other existing tests by means of a Monte Carlo study. All tests are carried out in a regression setup where we test whether the error distribution in a linear regression model is symmetric. It is found that the newly proposed tests perform favourably compared to the other tests.
