Do you have a doc on whether the data are supposed to be Normally Distributed, and if they are then how to measure said Normality? I'd really appreciate such a doc if you do.
- glaugh 11y agoSorry, we don't. My understanding, though, is that the typical statistical measures of normality (e.g., Kolmogorov–Smirnov) aren't really that effective, and the best way to assess normality is a visual inspection of a Q-Q plot. I don't have a specific source for this assertion, it's my memory from having researched this stuff a few years ago.
