Hi, I’m a bit confused about the requirements for normality using a One-Way ANOVA. I had always thought that in order to use a One-Way ANOVA, 2 requirements had to be met: 1 - The data should be normally distributed for each category of the independent variable. That is, say I had 3...

Coverage rate for a parameter is 91.2%, and the nominal coverage rate is 95%. If the confidence interval is based on asymptotic standard normal, then the amount of coverage 91.2% implies that the standard errors for the parameter is estimated about 15% too small. Because z* value used to make a...

I have the following output from a shapiro-wilk test: Shapiro-Wilk normality test data: goalTime W = 0.9486, p-value = 0.05751 And the Q-Q plot below: http://i.stack.imgur.com/AGd8u.png Would it be safe to say I cant reject the null hypothesis that the data is normal? What would be the...
