Peer reviewedMcNeil, Keith; And Others – Multiple Linear Regression Viewpoints, 1979
The utility of a nonlinear transformation of the criterion variable in multiple regression analysis is established. A well-known law--the Pythagorean Theorem--illustrates the point. (Author/JKS)

McNeil, Keith; And Others – 1979
The utility of a non-linear transformation of the criterion is established. The Pythagorean Theorem is used as the example to demonstrate the point. The functional relationships may be such (as in the Pythagorean Theorem) that an R-squared of 1.00 cannot be found without making a non-linear transformation of the criterion. The goal of…
