Transforming variables before analysis or applying a transformation as a part of a generalized linear model are common practices in organizational research. Several methodological articles addressing the topic, either directly or indirectly, have been published in the recent past. In this article, we point out a few misconceptions about transformations and propose a set of eight simple guidelines for addressing them. Our main argument is that transformations should not be chosen based on the nature or distribution of the individual variables but based on the functional form of the relationship between two or more variables that is expected from theory or discovered empirically. Building on a systematic review of six leading management journals, we point to several ways the specification and interpretation of nonlinear models can be improved.

Efficient Bayesian generalized linear models with time-varying coefficients : The walker package in R
Helske, Jouni (Elsevier BV, 2022)The R package walker extends standard Bayesian general linear models to the case where the effects of the explanatory variables can vary in time. This allows, for example, to model the effects of interventions such as ... -
Bayesian Modeling of Sequential Discoveries
Zito, Alessandro; Rigon, Tommaso; Ovaskainen, Otso; Dunson, David B. (Taylor & Francis, 2022)We aim at modelling the appearance of distinct tags in a sequence of labelled objects. Common examples of this type of data include words in a corpus or distinct species in a sample. These sequential discoveries are often ... -
Comparison of three ordinal logistic regression methods for predicting person’s self-assessed health status with functional, haemodynamic covariates
Markkanen, Merri-Lotta (2023)Lääketieteen parissa perinteiset kyselytutkimukset ovat yhä suosittuja, jonka myötä myös järjestysasteikollisten muuttujien analyysia suoritetaan paljon. Modernin teknologian kehittyminen näkyy kuitenkin myös tällä ... -
Effect of variable selection strategy on the predictive models for adverse pregnancy outcomes of pre-eclampsia : A retrospective study
Zheng, Dongying; Hao, Xinyu; Khan, Muhanmmad; Kang, Fuli; Li, Fan; Hämäläinen, Timo; Wang, Lixia (Scholar Media Publishing Company, 2024)Objectives: The improvement of prediction for adverse pregnancy outcomes is quite essential to the women suffering from pre-eclampsia, while the collection of predictive indicators is the prerequisite. The traditional ... -
Measuring the gender wage gap : a methodological note
Maczulskij, Terhi; Nyblom, Jukka (Routledge, 2020)We propose to estimate the Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition by a single-equation model augmented with interactions between the group membership and other predictors. The relative importance of predictors on the discriminatory ...
