Description: The aim of the seminar is to familiarize participants with the concept of data transformation. Data transformation is a prerequisite not only when the goal is to compare the distributions of two or more variables expressed in different units of measurement but also when the distributions must conform to the criteria imposed by data analysis methods. The seminar will cover the objectives of implementing transformation procedures, the theoretical basis of transforming variable distributions, and the advantages and disadvantages of the methods used for these transformations. Examples in Excel or SPSS will be used during the presentation.
