Dear all
I am having a slight issue when it comes to reporting my B values in my
multiple regression analysis and I was wondering if anyone could help.
Due to a positive skew in my dependent variables, I ended up having to
subject this to a log transformation so that it was normally
distributed. Unfortunately as a result of this, the unstandardised
regression coefficients have ended up being so small as to be
indistinguishable from each other unless you go to four or more decimal
places.
What is the procedure for reporting the regression coefficients in these
cases? Do I use an exponential transformation to get the 'true' values?
I have tried this as well, but I have unfortunately found that because
the unstandardised coefficients tended towards 0, the exponentially
transformed ones all hover around 1 and are similarly barely
differentiated.
Any help on this would be much appreciated.
Regards
Gemma Warren
