Abstract

A key issue in various applications of analysis of variance is testing for interaction and the interpretation of resulting analysis of variance tables. In this note is demonstrated that for a two-way ANOVA, incorporating interactions or not may have a dramatic influence when considering the usual statistical tests for normality of residuals. The effect of numerical rounding is also discussed.
