Testing For Normality - Clearly Explained

[@texaspolygraph]

Once again you have found a way to simply describe something that can be difficult to comprehend. Your explanations and videos are truly first rate.

[@TatianaMiloserdova-t3x]

Thank you so much for such an informative and useful guide. I write my bachelor thesis and try to find out if my data is normally distributed. Thanks to your clear explanations, now I know exactly how to test it!!👍🏼

[@Plinktitioner]

Thank you for taking the time to publish such a helpful video. Much obliged.

[@michalmokros]

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]

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]

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

[@learning_with_irving4266]

That's the end goal, is that what you mean? No pun intended

[@sayantan.mukherjee]

fantastic explanation. the entire normality confusion is cleared now. i wish this channel comes up with more statistical chapters. SUBSCRIBED !

[@AleksasViazovskis]

What a fantastic explanation, thank you so much, Steven!

[@cvino0618]

Good video saving this for a reference point to anyone looking into BI Data Analysts prep kit I'm making

[@LayneSadler]

absolutely fantastic. really interesting point about power 8:40

[@MedDeviceJesus]

Very good video. Helped my staff to understand clearly, thank you!💪💪

[@elmakkiamiri3912]

simply put, you are great. keep up the outstanding job man

[@michellecamacho5570]

Great explanation it helped me a lot with my data interpretation, thank you so much . Parting from here, would be great to have something like how to chose the proper statistical analysis for the data we are interpreting. It is yet very confusing

[@urielmilo3681]

[@pel513]

Very nice and easy to understand, thanks

[@StevenBradburn]

Very welcome

[@nourjiheneagouf8780]

Thank you very much for this explanation !!!

[@pascalsigel]

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

[@sayantan.mukherjee]

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.

[@RicardoLopes121]

Thank you very for your fantastic explanation!

[@azmiansari]

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]

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

[@loadedbylarry]

Nice vid! keep up the good work.

[@lavneetkaur3389]

Excellent explanation👍👍

[@asbinanceasbinance1473]

This is nice, short and knackig :). Thanx!

You're welcome!

Hi,process capability aim to achieve by consuming 50% tolerance When the dats are LSL to USL range we can get P value But we are fixing control limits how can get P value

[@rajeshlenka5894]

Wonderfully explained

[@alinecamargo7705]

Great explanation, thank you so much!!

[@mdshafiulislamrion4069]

Tremendous explanation. Thanks.

[@tyronebishop4875]

Fantastic explanation!

[@sukursukur3617]

Why normality tests? Why dont we implement poissonity test? What makes normal distribution privileged among other distributions?

[@juanjavierquinoluna3751]

very clear, thnaks a lot

[@sunnyyoda5511]

Your videos are absolutely amazing!! How do you prep your video? Do you do it in powerpoint, and do you use graphpad to make these graphs and figures? How do you also lay your graphs/figures on top of each other?

[@StevenBradburn]

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. Thanks! Steven

[@rizuri789]

thank you, it's easy to understand

[@merveekecan7687]

That really helps.. thank you so much

[@kierachen6438]

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]

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

[@kierachen6438]

@@StevenBradburn thanks.

[@TheCW6969]

I wonder what is the smallest number we can use the normality test.

[@justrainmath8881]

Is it safe to say that when the data are not normal, we use nonparametric tests? Thanks for reply.

[@cinnaced]

Yeah! Use nonparametric if it is not normal

[@adjoaintsiful2699]

Very helpful. Thank you

[@mohammedghouse235]

How to calculate the p-value? Please could you make a short video on that?

[@StevenBradburn]

Hi Mohammed, Why statistical software do you use? Thanks Steven

[@mohammedghouse235]

@@StevenBradburn Hi, I don't use any software right now. I'm looking at the basics now. But will later be using in MATLAB.

[@PunmasterSTP]

Testing for normality? More like "Terrific video that you gotta see!" 👍 Now I'm definitely curious about the specifics of the normality tests, but I bet they're rather complicated...

[@shayistamajeed9889]

Thank you for this video

[@jannua1]

Thanks, what does it mean if the q-plot shows normality but skewness/kurtosis does not

[@ernesttafumanei5843]

It means the same. Because qq measures normality and skewness measures lack of normality.

Welcome!

[@kantamana1]

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.

[@aaronecelph.d9728]

Thanks

[@bentrayford6132]

Analyses don't assume that the population is normally distributed though. Is that the argument you're making?

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.

Thanks Jurgen. Hopefully my statistics is better than my Arsenal performances

My answer to your quiestion are you normal or not is :if you have listened all these ramblings about normality - you are definitely not normal ,wich is not necessarililly a bad thing...
