Use the Log Function.
Your data does not have to be normally distributed to run a linear regression.
This is a good article on the topic: On the assumptions (and misconceptions) of linear regression .
Hi @PeterClemmensen,
I think your link points to "Need to log-transform a distribution? There's a SAS function for that!" (which is also an interesting article), but of course you mean "On the assumptions (and misconceptions) of linear regression."
Oh, yes of course. Corrected, thank you!
*Log Transfrom single variable;
data work.prac;
set project1.hiv;
LogA = log(A);
LogB = log(B);
run;
Try this. (using log function)
