Subject: data distribution for lme
Hi folks,
I am using the lme package of R, and am wondering if it is assumed that
the dependent factor (what we fit for; y in many relevant texts) has to
have a normal Gaussian distribution? Is there any margins where some
skewness in the data is accepted and how within R itself one could check
distribution of the data?
Thanks,
Peyman
