14 avr. 2022 Background: While dealing with skewed outcome researchers often use log-transformation to convert the data.


Assessing normality

A logarithmic transformation may be useful in normalizing distributions that have more severe positive skew than a square-root transformation. Such distribution

number, and it is equal to 2.718 to 3 decimal places. I will write the natural log of x as In(x). Medical

In computer programs and software packages, natural logs of x is written as log(x) in R and SAS,

LN(x) in SPSS and EXCEL, and either ln(x) or log(x) in STATA. On calculators, the button to calculate

the natural log of a number is ln. To antilog (cancel out) natural logs, we use the exponential

function. This is written as exp(x) in R, SAS and STATA, and EXP(x) in SPSS and EXCEL. In calculators, it

is given as ex, and this may have its own button, as on a mobile phone app, or it may be accessed on a hand-held calculator by pressing the SHIFT and ln keys in sequence.
