Gaussianity tests have been used for decades in statistics to determine if a dataset is well modeled by a normal distribution. More recently, they have also found their place in machine learning. The reason of this proliferation is that some parametric methods are only applicable to normal distributions. On the other hand, the number of applications of information theory to statistical signal processing has grown over the years. In this thesis we use information-theoretic metrics to test normality. Focusing on a moderate computational complexity, we define Rényi negentropy and propose a plug-in estimator of it based on Kernel Density Estimation (KDE). In order to evaluate the performance of the estimator, we feed it with normal, uniform and...
