Select menu: Data | Transformations
This provides a range of standard transformations for data.
- After you have imported your data, from the menu select
Data | Transformations.
Available data
This lists variates that can be used for Data and Save In. Double-click a name to copy it into the current input field, alternatively you can just type it in from the keyboard.
Transformation
A number of standard transformations are available as listed below. The equations use X to represent the data variate, and may involve one or two additional scalar constants, denoted by c and m, values for which must be specified.
Data
Specifies a variate containing data to be transformed.
Transformation | Genstat Expression |
Linear | m * (X + c) |
Power | (X + c)**m |
Square root | (X + c)**0.5 |
Log (base 10) | log10(X + c) |
Log (base e) | log(X + c) |
Antilog (base 10) | 10**X – c |
Antilog (base e) | exp(X) – c |
Exponential | exp(X + c) |
Logit | log(X / (c – X)) |
Inverse logit | c / (1 + exp(-X)) |
Double log | log(-log(X/c)) |
Inverse double log | c * exp(-exp(X)) |
Complementary log-log | log(-log(1 – (X/c))) |
Inverse complementary log-log | c * (1 – exp(-exp(X))) |
Accumulation | value in unit i of result is the sum of the first i units of X |
Differencing | value in unit i of result is set to xi − xi-c |
Save in
Specifies a data structure to contain the transformed values.
Parameters in equation
Lets you specify values for the additional constants, m and c, as appropriate.
Display in spreadsheet
Lets you display the results in a spreadsheet. You can select the sheet from the list of current open spreadsheets or request a new spreadsheet be created. Note: the number of rows of the spreadsheet must match the length of the results formed by the calculation, otherwise a new sheet will be used.
