Feeling a bit on the slump
Mood:  lazy
Now Playing: Another Pot O' Tea (Anne Murray)
Topic: Data Analysis

I don't think I've made any real progress with my work thus far ... when it comes to my data analysis, John as suggested I ignore the non-normality (well not ignore exactly!) - and find literature that suggest that ANOVA's are robust against the non-normality and heterogeneity of variance assumptions (he suggested I read Box's paper) ... my problem - I'm not sure if you can actually mix both - so, what I'm going to do is pretend there is not a large violation of either, and continue with ANOVA's but might use Brown & Forsythe's F instead for the heterogeneity - since there are unequal sample size - oh well still deciding.

Anyway, got to decide quick since got to send in a report on this by next Friday!
