Hello,

Could anyone help me with some data transformations? I have two
samples (n=45) with skewed distribution.  After using ladder command,
it came out that square transformation would be suitable for both of
them. May I perform a ttest after performing data transformation? How
should I deal with the results? Should I go back to the original data
(e.g. mean difference)? What about the p-value?

Thanks in advance,
Andreea
