Just a reminder that transformations can be used on proportions as a dv to reduce the skew, important if some values approach 0 or 1. These include arcsine, probit, and logit. Each needs special treatment when p=0 or p=1. Cohen and Cohen (2nd ed. of Applied MR/C) has a section on transformation

As I recall, there was an article by Lunney et al that appeared in the Journal of Educational Measurement that examined the use of ANOVA with "1" and "0" as the DV. I believe that they concluded that distortion was minimal when the distributions were within an 80/20 split... I think that the arti
