st: How to tell with transformation is better?

[wangxin <seu_wangxin@yahoo.com.cn>]

Hi, all:

I have a linear regression model which is not very
good since the R-square is very low.I test the
Log-transformed dependent also, which turns to be not
good also. I am wondering is there a way in Stata to
test which transformation for variable is better? 
Any advice is appreciated.

-Xin
