Best practice in statistics: The use of log transformation

Ann Clin Biochem. 2021 Oct 19:45632211050531. doi: 10.1177/00045632211050531. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe log transformation is often used to reduce skewness of a measurement variable. If, after transformation, the distribution is symmetric, then the Welch t-test might be used to compare groups. If, also, the distribution becomes close to normal, then a reference interval might be determined.PMID:34666549 | DOI:10.1177/00045632211050531
