Hi Statalisters,
The dependent variable in my data set is highly dispersed and I intend to take a log transformation. However, there are a few dummy independent variables. Can I simply take a log transformation of the DV and a few dispersed IVs and let the dummy variables and the less dispersed variables remain as they are?
Best,
Alice
