When we use transformed data in analyses, this affects the final estimates that we obtain. Figure 1 shows some serum triglyceride measurements, which have a skewed distribution. A logarithmic transformation is often useful for data which have positive skewness like this, and here the approximation ...
forZ(s) > 0, and ln is the natural logarithm. The log transformation is often used where the data has a positively skewed distribution (shown below) and there are a few very large values. If these large values are located in your study area, the log transformation will ...
For example, the house price data may be stated in year 2000 dollars. To make these adjustments, a price index is used. If ztzt denotes the price index and ytyt denotes the original house price in year tt, then xt=yt/zt∗z2000xt=yt/zt∗z2000 gives the adjusted house price at ...
The log transformation can be used to make highly skewed distributions less skewed. This can be valuable both for making patterns in the data more interpretable and for helping to meet the assumptions of inferential statistics. Figure 1 shows an example of how a log transformation can make ...
Transformations are nonlinear conversions of the data like, for instance, the log transformation and the power transformation (Table 1). Transformations are generally applied to correct for heteroscedasticity [7], to convert multiplicative relations into additive relations, and to make skewed distributions...

In order to increase the sensitivity in detecting surface roughness changes, data acquired outside of the run-track location was masked out by reducing the xFoV to the size of 1.7×2a. The safety factor was used in order to guarantee measurement of the actual wear track which for some test...
posed for addressing the problem of skewed distributions of ob- ject frequencies in binary data [37]. This pattern is based on the h-confidence measure. This measure is just the number of times items appear together divided by the maximum number of times ...
