LOG Subcommand (PROBIT command)
LOG
specifies
the base of the logarithmic transformation of the predictor variables
or suppresses the default log transformation.
-
LOG
applies to all predictors. - To transform only selected predictors, use
COMPUTE
commands before the Probit procedure. Then specifyNONE
on theLOG
subcommand. - If
LOG
is omitted, a logarithm base of 10 is used. - If
LOG
is used without a specification, the natural logarithm base e (2.718) is used. - If you have a control group in your data and specify
NONE
on theLOG
subcommand, the control group is included in the analysis. See the topic NATRES Subcommand (PROBIT command) for more information.
You can specify one of the following on LOG
:
value. Logarithm base to be applied to all predictors.
NONE. No transformation of the predictors.
Example
PROBIT R OF N BY ROOT (1,2) WITH X
/LOG = 2.
-
LOG
specifies a base-2 logarithmic transformation.
