Transform blood protein values refer to the previous


Transform blood protein values. Refer to the previous exercise. With strongly skewed distributions such as this, we frequently reduce the skewness by taking a log transformation. We have a bit of a problem here, however, because some of the data are recorded as 0.00 and the logarithm of zero is not defined. For this variable, the value 0.00 is recorded whenever the amount of CRP in the blood is below the level that the measuring instrument is capable of detecting. The usual procedure in this circumstance is to add a small number to each observation before taking the logs. Transform these data by adding 1 to each observation and then taking the logarithm. Use the questions in the previous exercise as a guide to your analysis, and prepare a summary contrasting this analysis with the one that you performed in the previous exercise.
