A colleague is looking at the relative amounts of two different types 
of fatty acids (say, fatty acids A and B) that are incorporated in two 
different types of tissues.  He is comparing the ratio of A:B in the 
two tissues but the data are heteroscedastic.....he has tried 
several transformations but nothing is stabilizing the variance.  Is 
there a transformation that is specifically for ratios (the ratios range 
from 1:5 to 5:1)?  Thanks a lot.
