  • In this video, I will provide a clear overview of normality testing data. Testing for normality is an important procedure to determine if your data has been sampled from a normal (Gaussian) distribution.
    There are two main ways that are commonly used to deduce whether data have been sampled from a normal distribution: analysis of graphs (eg, Q-Q plots and frequency distributions) and performing normality tests (eg, Shapiro-Wilk test).

    When p-value is bigger than 0.05 we do not reject the alternative hypothesis. The only thing we are observing is whether or not we reject the null hypothesis, therefore only thing we can reject is the null hypothesis if p-value is below our significance level. Otherwise great vid.

    • @ShawnMorel
      @ShawnMorel Před 2 lety

      I had the same reaction. We can't reject in both depending on the p-value, just reject the null or fail to reject the null because we don't have enough evidence to reject the null with that level of significance.

    • @ernesttafumanei5843
      @ernesttafumanei5843 Před rokem +2

      I concur: we can either reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis.

      Thanks very much :)
      For this I made the graphs using GraphPad Prism and present them in PowerPoint. I add and remove data sets from the Prism graphs to make different 'layers' and animate them in PowerPoint.
      You can see some links to software I use in the video description.

  • @pascalsigel
    @pascalsigel Před 2 lety +16

    note: if p>0.05 you not accept the null hipothesis, just fails to reject it. it is not the same.

    • @sayantan.mukherjee
      @sayantan.mukherjee Před 2 lety +1

      what does that even mean ? if p < 0.05 we reject null hypothesis and if p > 0.05 we retain the null hypothesis statement. It's that simple, please don't confuse the world.

    If the data lets say score of student is not normally distributed then what will we do? Will we use non parametric test like Mann-Whitney?

    • @StevenBradburn
      @StevenBradburn  Před 3 lety

      Hello. It depends on what you want to do. If you want to compare two sets of continuous data that are not normally distributed. You could try and transform your data (eg log transformation) to see if this improves the distribution. Or you could use a non-parametric test, in this case, a Mann-Whitney test

  • @kierachen6438
    @kierachen6438 Před 3 lety +1

    Great explanation! But I have a question. Suppose I am using likert scale to level of agreement in my study, can I use demographic variable to assess the normality of my data?

    • @StevenBradburn
      @StevenBradburn  Před 3 lety +1

      Thanks Kiera.
      That depends on the type of data you have. If the data is a continuous variable (e.g. age, height, weight etc), then yes you can assess the normality of this data.
      If the data is categorical (e.g. gender [male/female]), then no.
      Hope that helps,
      Steven

    The so-called “normal distribution” is just a special case of all common unimodal distributions. It is not a big deal in the foundation of statistics.

    It is not correct to either accept one or the other hypothesis! There is also the option that you can't conclude any correllation in the data.
