Hello,
I am looking at the impact of deficit on an outcome variable (Spending). All variables are positve in my datset, except for deficit. People can sometimes have a deficit in their spending (postive value of deficit), or surplus (negative value). I wanted to take natural logs of these variables. However, taking a natural variable makes no sense if I have a surplus (negative value). Does anyone have suggestions?
Thank you
