Text

The new sample of 26 subjects with ASP showed distribution parameters as follows: normality statistic, W = 0.9606, P = 0.4222; skewedness statistic, W = −0.61, value/SE = −1.281; kurtosis statistic, W = 0.33, value/SE = 0.347. This indicated that the ASP sample distribution was also within the limits of a normal population, was symmetrical, and had tails that conformed to expected lengths (see Figure 3) and was therefore characterized as Gaussian normal.
