Perlu tulis pengalaman ni sebab betul2 buat panik sekejap tadi. I've always known my data to not have normal distribution. Slightly skewed and with outliers in one of the levels tested. Dulu my friend ajar untuk tulis "imperfections of normal distribution can be compensated by the robustness of parametric test ANOVA". Dah tulis dah. Without citation. Bila dah terima for correction ni my supervisor comment ayat tu takder citation. Betul jugak tu. Tanya my friend dia dapat dari mana dia tengah busy pulak. Dok Google sekali terjumpa pasal what to do with non normal data distribution. Memang panjang lah cerita nya. Waaaa.... matilah kalau kena rewrite balik part results and findings tu. Bukan sikit2 tu sebab flawed assumptions so semua akan effect. Cari2 lagi info and akhirnya jumpa 2 paper yang support statement yang my friend ajar tu. Famous jugak paper2 tu sebab beratus jugak yang cite them. Ya Allah syukur Alhamdulillah. Seriously tadi teringat habislah thesis kena reject. Writing style excellent pun tak guna. Haaaa... sekali tu rupanya statisticians ni pun ada bermacam2 mazhab. Pilihlah yang sesuai utk kegunaan kita. Hmmm... nasib tak kena heart attack tadi. Emotional upheaval sekejap.
