List members: I should correct something I included in the SUM I sent out earlier today. Upon closer inspection, the normal score transform of the data did not produce valid output. The output includes very large positive results that are several orders of magnitude greater than the largest positive normal score (2.86) that was assigned to the raw data. I should point out that the data I am attempting to use is unusual: it has a coefficient of skewness of 8.32 and a coefficient of variation of (3.72).
