There is no requirement that the cell sizes be normally distributed. The only requirement in the general linear model is that the errors are normally distributed, and that is only necessary if you want to use F-tests or t-tests. It is however true that ANOVA loses power when the samples sizes are radically different, but even so, widely different sample sizes do not violate any distributional requirement. -- Paige Miller [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.kodak.com "It's nothing until I call it!" -- Bill Klem, NL Umpire "When you get the choice to sit it out or dance, I hope you dance" -- Lee Ann Womack . . ================================================================= Instructions for joining and leaving this list, remarks about the problem of INAPPROPRIATE MESSAGES, and archives are available at: . http://jse.stat.ncsu.edu/ . =================================================================
