Testing the assumption of Normality and Homoscedasticity
A quantile-quantile graph was plotted in R- software for the best-fitted
model and visually verified that almost the cluster of points forms a
straight line. Homoscedasticity characterized by a constant variance of
the residuals was also checked by plotting the residuals against the
fitted values in R software and visually verified that more or less the
cluster of points does not show any particular trend (Figure 3).
