How can you use “normality” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
This method is similar to Dunnett's procedure, except that it is not necessary to meet the assumption of normality.
Data was analyzed to verify normality and to test for any outliers.
That is, when test data fail to meet assumptions of normality or heterogeneity of variance, a non-parametric method (determined following the statistical flowchart for the method) should be used to calculate test results, but the PMSD may be calculated as described above (using parametric methods) to provide a measure of test variability.
Note that although the t -statistic is constructed, we shall not conduct t -tests because there is no evidence to support the questionable normality assumption required by the t -test.
Although the t -test is robust to departures from normality and the Wilcoxon test does not depend on the normality assumption, the problem is that under non-normal situations the t -test may be too conservative, and hence, as with the Wilcoxon test, may have too low power, especially when the sample size is small, which is the case for most microarray experiments.
