 lmngry: Geary Non Normality Lagrange Multiplier Runs Test

        +--------+
    ----+ Syntax +-----------------------------------------------------------

        lmngry depvar indepvars [if] [in] [weight] , [ noconstant vce(
                vcetype) ]
 

        +---------+
    ----+ Options +----------------------------------------------------------

      noconstant          suppress constant term

    SE/Robust
      vce(vcetype)        vcetype may be ols, robust, cluster clustvar,
                            bootstrap, jackknife, hc2, or hc3


        +-------------+
    ----+ Description +------------------------------------------------------

  lmngry computes Geary Lagrange Multiplier non normality runs test for OLS
  residuals after regress command.

  Ho: Error has normality distribution.
  Ha: Error has non normality distribution.

  Geary LM test has degrees of freedom with chi2 at 2 DF (5.99).


        +---------------+
    ----+ Saved Results +----------------------------------------------------

    lmngry saves the following in r():

    Scalars
      r(lmn)    Geary LM Test
      r(df)     Chi2 degrees of freedom
      r(p)      P-Value significance


        +---------+
    ----+ Example +----------------------------------------------------------

        clear all

        sysuse lmngry.dta, clear

        lmngry y x1 x2

        return list

        db lmngry
