VerifyTestAssumptions (4)
By default, normality is tested when appropriate:
Diagnostics can be controlled as a group using All or None:
Diagnostics can be controlled independently:
Explicitly set the diagnostic result:
It is often useful to bypass diagnostic tests for simulation purposes:
The assumptions of the test hold by design, so a great deal of time can be saved:
