| Subject | st: correcting skewness of an indep variable |
| Date | Mon, 15 Mar 2010 17:01:05 +0100 (CET) |
Hi statalists! When does one need to correct the skewness of an independent variable? I have a logit regression and my indep variable is strongly skewed; do I need to correct this (by using lnskew0 )?? I tried to correct my variable, but Stata gave this error message (see below); what does it mean? why it gave this message? lnskew0 lnindepvar = indepvar invalid matrix stripe; .z_ r(198); * * For searches and help try: * http://www.stata.com/help.cgi?search * http://www.stata.com/support/statalist/faq * http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/stata/
