The measurements obtained for the study were evaluated for normal distribution using the D'Agostino and Pearson omnibus normality test and found the data to be non-Gaussian distributed.
Continuous data were evaluated for normal distribution and tested for significance with the Student t test.
Data were evaluated for normal distribution by Kolmogorov Smirnov test, and non-parametric tests were applied if required.
Data were evaluated for normal distribution by Shapiro-Wilk test.
Continuous data were evaluated for normal distribution and tested for significance with the student t test.
Data were evaluated for normal distribution using the Kolmogorov Smirnov and Lilliefors test.
Data were evaluated for normal distribution, and parametric or nonparametric tests were used, as appropriate.
8 Continuous variables were evaluated for normal distribution by the Kolmogorov Smirnov test.
All data were evaluated for normal distribution and homogeneity of variances among groups.
Differences in NIRS-parameters brought about by the different assumptions for BWC were evaluated for normal distribution using a Shapiro-Wilk-test, showing non-normal distribution.
Numeric data were evaluated for normal distribution and for equal variance by using the Kolmogorov Smirnov test and Levene's median test, respectively.
