Violation of Normality
Message posted by Nicole (via 168.191.249.109) on January 4, 2002 at 1:42 PM (ET)

I'm trying to run a MANOVA with 6 dependent variables, where 4 of the 6 are significantly non-normal according the K-S test. How conservative is this test?...and any suggestions for transforming the data?

The appropriate transformation depends on the actual distribution that you have. Can you transform one variable at a time or do we have a multidimensional situation?
