How can we avoid skewness in a data?

Answer 1

The best way to avoid skewness in data to show a log transform with intent. Log transform is the easy way to increase the the normality of distribution. Log transformation is most likely the first thing that remove skewness from the data.

Answer 2

1. Log Transform. Log transformation is most likely the first thing you should do to remove skewness from the predictor. ...
2. Square Root Transform. ...
3. 3. Box-Cox Transform.

The best way to fix it is to perform a log transform of the same data, with the intent to reduce the skewness. After taking logarithm of the same data the curve seems to be normally distributed, although not perfectly normal, this is sufficient to fix the issues from a skewed dataset as we saw before.

Too many extreme values in a data set will result in a skewed distribution. Normality of data can be achieved by cleaning the data. This involves determining measurement errors, data-entry errors and outliers, and removing them from the data for valid reasons.

long transform:it can be easily done by calling the log ( ) function on the desired column .

Square root transform: due to taking the square root the range of the variable will be smaller.

Box cox transform : it is another way of handling skewed data .Data must be positive

it is just another way of handling skewed data .your data

The best way to reduce skewness is to platform log transfrorm of the same data, with the intact to reduce the skewness.

Top 3 methods of handling skewed data or avoid skewness in a data:

1:- Log Transform: log transform is most likely the first thing you should do to remove skewness from the predictor. It can easily done via Numpy, just by calling the log( ) function on the desired column. By this method you can easily check for skew.

2:-Square root Transform: The square root sometimes is not the best suitable option. In this case, I still expect the transformed distribution to look somewhat exponential, but just due to taking a square root the range of variable will be smaller.

You can apply a square root transformation via Numpy, by calling the sqrt( ).

3:- Box-Cox Transform: it is the another way of handling skwed data. To use it, your data must be positive so that can be bummer sometimes.

Answer 10

18-302 the Way to avoid is to perform a log transform of same data. By performing logarithm to reduce or avoid skewness the data curve seem to be more normal distibuted although not perfectly but the skewness can br avoid or reduce by this method.
