Dear Stata users,
I am struggling with a doubt on the use of a variable.
I need to use a continuous var. (from 0 to 100) in a factor analysis. The problem is that this variable is not at all normally distributed: more than a half of observations have the maximum value (100), while the others less-than-a-half have a variation. Is there any chance to transform the distribution of this variable so to use it in a more proper way in a factor analysis? DO you have any clue about it?
Thanks a lot, best, G,
