The use of asymmetry and excess estimates to verify the results of medical observations on indicators for normality

Medical specialists know that most of their activities are related to information and its management, for example, obtaining and recording patient information, a consulting board, reading and evaluating scientific literature, planning diagnostic procedures, developing strategies for patient care, interpreting laboratory results and radiological research or working based on research. Statistical processing of the results of medical observations should be subordinate to the goals and objectives of specific studies. The choice of an adequate test in order to compare the indicators is a rather complicated process, since the researcher needs to choose between two families of tests - parametric and nonparametric. Many statistical tests are based on the assumption that the data were obtained as a sample from the normal distribution.
