LOG Subcommand (PROBIT command)
LOG specifies
the base of the logarithmic transformation of the predictor variables
or suppresses the default log transformation.
-
LOGapplies to all predictors. - To transform only selected predictors, use
COMPUTEcommands before the Probit procedure. Then specifyNONEon theLOGsubcommand. - If
LOGis omitted, a logarithm base of 10 is used. - If
LOGis used without a specification, the natural logarithm base e (2.718) is used. - If you have a control group in your data and specify
NONEon theLOGsubcommand, 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.
-
LOGspecifies a base-2 logarithmic transformation.
