Hi Margaret:

No I don't have a clue. Sometimes when a variable has zero or negative values, "gladder" gives you half of the the graphs but I dunno if ladder does this. That's an idea. Try the command "gladder [variable name]" instead.

Stop by sometime (I'm almost always here in the afternoons) and lemme see it.

Hello,

I have a variable that is right-skewed. I used the �ladder- command to see suggested transformations. However, no transformations appeared in the output. I�m guessing that this does not mean that the raw form is better, because there is an option for �raw� in the list.

Any ideas what is happening?

Thank you,
Margaret
