Hey guys,

I have positive and negative values and a lot of outliers in my data. Therefore I decided to use a monotonic transformation. I wanted to use the third root because of the s-form of the function and I implemented it like this:

Code:
gen thsqrtNettovermögen_a = Nettovermögen_a^(1/3)
The problem is that stata only transformed the positive values and the negative values are simply missing and I don't understand why.

thanks in advance

Ben
