Descriptive statistics for ST-segment values, however, revealed skewness in the subjects' baseline values, making the normality assumption on the random intercepts untenable.
Moreover, for retrospective studies, the truncation to 10/10 introduces a ceiling effect, making the normality assumption unsuitable (even asymptomatically) nor fixable using logMAR conversion.

As a society obsessed with achievement, we still fear, mock and segregate those who fail to make the grade of "normality" and, while there are schools and professionals who do everything in their power for their charges, there are still more who would just hand them a shovel and have done with it.
A logarithmic transformation was used for survival time and the incomplete continuous covariates to make the assumption of normality more applicable [ 9].
Everything in this neon-lit, squint-inducing room is designed to be captured in the frame of a phone's camera, and that makes the sheer normality of what's happening outside of the lens' gaze – kids sitting on the floor; Islanders' newly-acquired agents making furtive phone calls; even the non-polished appearances of most of the audience members, me included – feel even more pronounced.
"Right down to, 'Do you think they were drinking a cup of coffee or a cup of tea on that morning?'" - all of which serves to make the sudden rupture of normality more shocking.
By constructing a normal probability plot of the residuals, a check was made for the normality assumption, as given in Fig. 1.
