mean±SD or median [min, max]
Hi,
Is this information correct?
If our data is normally distributed (according to Kolmogorov-Smirnov, for example) then we can describe them by mean ± standard deviation, and if they are not, we must be described as median [Min, Max].

This is what Harold Jeffreys argued, if I'm not mistaken; I am a little allergic to "must", and also to the categorical acceptance of normality based on a p-value test, but I think I'm with Jeffreys on the general sentiment.
