Hello folks,
Is it ok to use lmer() when the distribution of the response data resembles
a truncated gaussian?  I have data where the response variable is
constrained in [0,15] but has a mean of 12.63 and a S.D. of 2.25, based on
130 observations.  Graphs of dnorm() look symmetrical near the mean and
log-transformation doesn't help; thus I think the data is best treated as
truncated rather than skewed.
Regards,
