Transforming scores to categories
- [Narrator] When you're getting your data ready for analysis sometimes you need to do the same transformation to many different scores like doing reverse coding or logarithmic transformations or maybe you need to take variables and convert them into ordinal categories. I want to show you an example of how to use jamovi's transform function to take z-scores and identify whether they are extreme or not using the plus or minus two standard deviations criterion. What I'm going to do is I'm going to come over here and click on this blank space and then I get to choose a new transformed variable. Now, what I'm going to show you can be done with a computed variable but the advantage of doing it with a transformed variable is it saves that transformation function and then you can apply it to multiple variables at the same time if you want. The first thing we need to do is we need to define the actual function that we're going to use, the transformation function, and so I'm going to come…
