Researchers should check data distribution before statistical analysis. Data transformation can be used to address assumption violations, ensuring accurate results and proper interpretation.

Area of Science:

  • Statistics
  • Data Science

Background:

  • Statistical analyses rely on specific data distribution assumptions.
  • Violating these assumptions can compromise the validity of results.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explain the concept and necessity of data transformation.
  • To detail common data transformation methods and their rationale.
  • To guide the interpretation of transformed data in statistical reporting.

Main Methods:

  • Review of statistical principles regarding data assumptions.
  • Explanation of various data transformation techniques (e.g., logarithmic, square root).
  • Discussion on the application and interpretation of transformations.

Main Results:
