Overall, `sqrt(x)` seems better than `log(x+1)`. - count variables: log(x+1) better than sqrt(x), but not very different - summed variables: sqrt(x) is better - fraction variables: sqrt(x) is better Four outcome variables shown below (pc1, fc, mbfc, afm). All are imputed ratings. Left peak is due to imputing 0, right peak is due to winsorizing. ![[1666304072.png]] ![[1666303910.png]] ![[1666304000.png]] ![[1666304042.png]] --- # exposure distributions - sqrt(x) is better for both count and summed variables ![[1666306211.png]] ![[1666306275.png]] ![[1666306312.png]] ![[1666306312.png]]
