[R-sig-eco] Standardising and transformation of explanatory/independent/predictor variables for multiple regression analysis

[SamiC]

Thanks Scott,

That does help to clarify things.

So if a covariate is highly skewed, extreme values will be more influential. 
And this can be reduced through a transformation (which can be justified) or
through other techniques (e.g. bootstrapping).

Cheers

Sam
