Dear List,
I'm analyzing a time-series cross-sectional data set with wind capacity in US states as the dependent variable.
My DV is strongly nonlinear (ranging from a S-shaped to growth-curve-like) and to deal with this, three approaches have been proposed:
Thanks!

- Log-transform the dependent variable.
- Add a squared or cubic term to the right-hand-side of the equation.
- Perform a piecewise regression after splitting the dataset.
Thanks!
