Linear regression and the normality assumption
discovery.ucl.ac.ukInstead this normality assumption is necessary to unbiasedly estimate standard errors, and hence confidence intervals and p-values. However, in large sample sizes (e.g., where the number of observations per variable is larger than 10) violations of this normality assumption do not noticeably impact results. Contrary to this,
Lecture 2 Linear Regression: A Model for the Mean
www.columbia.eduNormality Dist. of Y’s at any X is normal Independence ... The “constant variance” assumption is important. Normality is not too important for confidence intervals and p-values, but is important for prediction intervals.
Repeated Measures ANOVA - Stony Brook
www.ams.sunysb.edunormality assumption. Limitations of the one-way ANOVA: 6 . 7 ☼ A repeated measures design is one in which at least one of the factors consists of repeated measurements on the same subjects or experimental units, under different conditions and/or at different time points. 8
Pearson’s correlation - www.statstutor.ac.uk
www.statstutor.ac.ukIn practice the last assumption is checked by requiring both variables to be individually normally distributed (which is a by-product consequence of bivariate normality). Pragmatically Pearson’s correlation coefficient is sensitive to skewed distributions and outliers, thus if we do not have these conditions we are content.
The Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) Estimator
www.ams.sunysb.edu* Furthermore, by adding assumption 7 (normality), one can show that OLS = MLE and is the BUE (Best Unbiased Estimator) also called the UMVUE. Gauss-Markov Theorem • Can you prove this theorem? • This is your Quiz 2. • Last but not the least, we thank colleagues who have uploaded their lecture notes on
Repeated measures (within-subjects) ANOVA

A set of residuals will be produced for each time point and added to the data set. Use histograms/ Shapiro-Wilk tests to check they are approximately normally distributed.

Testing for Normality - Shippensburg University
webspace.ship.eduFinal Words Concerning Normality Testing: 1. Since it IS a test, state a null and alternate hypothesis. 2. If you perform a normality test, do not ignore the results. 3. If the data are not normal, use non-parametric tests. 4. If the data are normal, use parametric tests. AND MOST IMPORTANTLY:
REPEATED MEASURES (ANOVA)
oak.ucc.nau.eduRM ANOVA Page 3 The alternative univariate tests take into account violations of the sphericity assumption. These tests employ the same calculated F statistic as the standard univariate test, but its associated p value potentially differs. In determining the p value, an epsilon statistic is calculated based on the sample data to assess the degree that the sphericity

Discussion Wehaveproducedcentile charts for adult head circumference based on measurements from two British centres (figs 3 and 4). From our measurements it is apparent that it could be quite misleading to make an assessment of an individual's centile for head circumference
