Q: Data passing all linearity checks except normality. What should my next steps be?

WoolynikI am required to build models for a series of datasets which are all having the same issue. "Eyeballing" it leads me to believe that the data are best fitted by a linear regression. My data appear to pass the homogeneity assumption (leveneTest pval > 0.05) and the linearity assumption (more rese...

At this point, we should have posts addressing the overrated headache around the assumption of normality, and I think we do, don't we?

Q: Is normality testing 'essentially useless'?

shabbychefA former colleague once argued to me as follows: We usually apply normality tests to the results of processes that, under the null, generate random variables that are only asymptotically or nearly normal (with the 'asymptotically' part dependent on some quantity which we cannot make larg...

Hi everyone. I am here looking for a CrossValidated moderator assitance. I did a question here with 4 upvotes that got deleted by a bot. First it got migrated from MathStackExchange to CrossValidated, then it looks it got migrated back and then deleted by a bot. I am still working on it and I would like to share it asking for some reviews but deleted as it is now almost no one can see it. I hope you could help me.

@Joako It was migrated back to MSE because it was closed here as too broad. The post itself is incredibly long, and I am uncertain what the actual question is.

@Galen I think we should tag it as .
@Joako ah! The historic lengthy post that never ended! Jokes apart, I agree with @Sycorax that it is unnecessarily long for a q&a format -- it needs a closure and couldn't sustain a blog based continuity.
I would suggest you to break it, if possible, into related posts. The problem is interesting and you should think about it. @Joako
