Hi
Go to the very bottom of the link that Michael P provided below and you will find a brief discussion of skewness and a VERY nice demo of the impact of different powers on a skewed distribution (pretty much the mirror image of Michael B's in the original posting). >Michael P As others have already mentioned in this thread, one could transform the data and I would suggest taking a look at Tukey's "Ladder of Powers" in his "Exploratory Data Analysis" (the "EDA" book). One summary of this is provided on this website: http://onlinestatbook.com/2/transformations/tukey.html Take care Jim --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [email protected].
