@rbutler Robert, as usual, a concise simple to understand explanation LOL. I always learn so much from your posts…at least the parts that I understand. Hope all is well. 7 months ago

@shar6580 Double check the correctness of your assumptions. The only assumption for normality is in the residuals. There is no normality assumption for the raw data. Save your efforts of all those transformations. 7 months ago

What do YOU think? Are you having trouble getting started? Where are you getting tripped up?
