I've been tinkering with log-transforming an outcome variable for a
regression, but I thought lnskew0 might be a good trick (and it was doing
better than ln()). However, I wonder how I could convert the estimates
back to the natural units. For example, I've seen the smearing technique
for converting regression estimates scaled in ln(dollars) back to dollars,
but I can't imagine what's involved in getting back from whatever it is
lnskew0 creates. Then I thought, somebody on STATAlist might
know. [Couldn't find anything in the list archives or manual.]
Thanks,
