similar to: normality test for large sample sizes

Dear all, I would like to know which is the right way to check the normality assumption for performing ANOVA. How do you check normality for the following example? I did an experiment where people had to evaluate on a 7 point scale, the degree of realism of some stimuli presented in 2 conditions. The problem is that if I check normality with the Shapiro test I get that the data are not

Sorry for the probable repeat post but I can only search the list up to 2002 (is there a better way?). I am using the RH9 RPM from CRAN but packages like AnalyzeFMRI say that tcltk is not found. Do I need to do more to get Tk GUIs working on RH9 or does the RPM not have tcltk support built in (should I compile from source). Thanks in advance. Take care. -Morgan

Hello, Do you know a R implemented normality test like the shapiro test but more suitable for large data set ? Thanks, _________________________________________________________________ Découvrez toutes les possibilités de communication avec vos proches [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi everybody, somehow i dont get the shapiro wilk test for normality. i just can?t find what the H0 is . i tried : shapiro.test(rnorm(5000)) Shapiro-Wilk normality test data: rnorm(5000) W = 0.9997, p-value = 0.6205 If normality is the H0, the test says it?s probably not normal, doesn ?t it ? 5000 is the biggest n allowed by the test... are there any other test ? ( i know qqnorm

Hi all, I have two very large samples of data (10000+ data points) and would like to perform normality tests on it. I know that p < .05 means that a data set is considered as not normal with any of the two tests. I am also aware that large samples tend to lead more likely to normal results (Andy Field, 2005). I have a few questions to ensure that I am using them right. 1) The Shapiro-Wilk

Hi, I am looking for a normality test in R to see if a vector of data I have can be assumed to be normally distributed and hence used in a linear regression. > help.search("normality test") suggests the Shapiro test, ?shapiro.test. Now maybe I am interpreting things incorrectly (as is usually the case), am I right in assuming that this is a composite test for normality, and hence a

Hi all T gurus, I would like to test if my dataset is indeed from N(0, 0.011908969). K.S. test gives following result: > ks.test(data, "pnorm", 0, 0.011908969) One-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test data: data D = 0.1092, p-value = 1.318e-05 alternative hypothesis: two-sided How ever "Shapiro-Wilk" test give following : >

Hi, this is my first help request so please bear with me. I've been running some normality tests using the nortest package. For some of my datasets the Cramer-von Mises normality test generates an extremely high probability (e.g., 1.637e+31) and indicates normality when the other tests do not. Is there something I'm misunderstanding or potentially a bug in the code? Below are the

I have a large amount of data which I break down into a collection of vectors of 100-125 values each. I would like to test the normality of the vectors and compare them. In the interactive mode I can test any one vector using the Shapiro-Wilk test or the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. My problem is that when I try to write out the results to a file, the term output is a mixture of alpha characters

I am having a hard time interpreting the results of the 'shapiro.test' for normality. If I do ?shapiro.test I see two examples using rnorm and runif. When I run the test using rnorm I get a wide variation of results. Most of this may be from variability of rnorm, samll sample size (limited to 5000 for the test), etc but if I repeat the test multiple times I can get: >

Hello, I would like to know if there is a function in R that will test for normality and handle censored data sets. Currently, I evaluate each censored data set by the extent to which a normal scores plot approximate a straight line. For complete data sets I use shapiro.test(). Below is an example of a censored data set. data1<-c(0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 5.86, 5.17, 8.17, 5.12, 4.92, 7.08,

Hello, I am analysing several samples whose sizes are from 9 to 110. I would like to test their distribution with R, whether they are normal or not. I wonder which test for normality from R should I use . Thank you for help.

Good Night I made different test to check normality and multinormality in my dataset, but I don´t know which test is better. To verify univariate normality I checked: shapiro.test, cvm.test, ad.test, lillie.test, sf.test or jaque.bera.test and To verify multivariate normal distribution I use mardia, mvShapiro.Test, mvsf, mshapiro.test, mvnorm.e. I have a dataset with almost 1000 data and 9

Hi, I have a small set of data on which I have tried some normality tests. When I make a histogram of the data the distribution doesn't seem to be normal at all (rather lognormal), but still no matter what test I use (Shapiro, Anderson-Darling,...) it returns a very small p value (which as far as I know means that the distribution is normal). Am I doing something wrong here? Thanks Pieter

Hello I have used recently the kolmogorov smirnov test, which is a test of normality. This test is named ks.test() in ctest library of R.

Hi, I have found quite a few posts on normality checking of response variables, but I am still in doubt about that. As it is easy to understand I'm not a statistician so be patient please. I want to estimate the possible effects of some predictors on my response variable that is nº of males and nº of females (cbind(males,females)), so, it would be:

Hi all, apologies for seeking advice on a general stats question. I ve run normality tests using 8 different methods: - Lilliefors - Shapiro-Wilk - Robust Jarque Bera - Jarque Bera - Anderson-Darling - Pearson chi-square - Cramer-von Mises - Shapiro-Francia All show that the null hypothesis that the data come from a normal distro cannot be rejected. Great. However, I don't think it looks
