Introduction
Log transformations are one of the most commonly used transformations, but interpreting results of an analysis with log-transformed data may be challenging. This newsletter focuses on how to obtain estimated parameters of interest and how to interpret the coefficients in a regression model involving log-transformed variables. A log transformation is often useful for data which exhibit right skewness (positively skewed), and for data where the variability of residuals increases for larger values of the dependent variable. When some variables are log-transformed, estimating parameters of interest based on the model may involve more calculation than simply taking the anti-log of certain regression coefficients.The log-normal distribution
To properly back transform into the original scale we need to understand some details about the log-normal distribution. In probability theory, a log-normal distribution is the distribution of the think of ܻ distribution. So it will be helpful to understand the behavior of ܻ true:The mean of ܻ

Interpreting parameter estimates in a linear regression when some variables are log-transformed expected value of the response variable, holding all other predictors constant. The interpretation of regression coefficients when one or more variables are log-transformed depends on whether the dependent variable, independent variable, or both are transformed. To understand each of these cases, consider an example in which weight is the dependent variable and height is the only independent variable.Only the dependent variable is transformed
Linear change in the independent variable is associated with multiplicative change in the dependent variable.Suppose the fitted model is
