Hi all,
I have a very basic ANOVA question regarding transformed variable.
Example: I have 6 different types of habitats and I have obtained 25
readings from each of the different type of habitats. After doing the ANOVA
procedure, I discovered that non-constant error variance is present.
Thus, I would need to transform the readings with natural log to be able to
use the ANOVA procedure.
Question: After transformation, does any of the hypothesis regarding the
original variable still holds, using the latest ANOVA procedure?
If it still holds, may I know what is the rationale?
If it does not hold, why then bother on transforming the readings variable
in the first place?
I hope some "enlighten" ones who are on this mailing list can shed some
light on this issue.
Thanks in advance!
Beng Hai
