Hello Statalists,
Normally people logarithmically transform some variables that are positively skewed, to make them normal. But if such a skewed variable is in the form of ratio (here I mean only ratio between 0 and 1), technically is it appropriate to do logarithmical transformation? In many empirical studies, ratio data seem not to be logarithmically transformed, but some ones indeed do this.
Sorry for the perhaps less relevance of my question with STATA software.
Thank you very much
