Abstract Objective Researchers often perform arbitrary outcome transformations to fulfil the normality assumption of a Linear regression model . This manuscript explains and illustrates that in large data settings, such transformations are often unnecessary, and worse, may bias model estimates. Design Linear regression assumptions are illustrated using simulated data and an empirical example on the relation between time since type 2 diabetes diagnosis and glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c).
prognostication, outcome transformations are less of an issue. Furthermore, hypothesis tests from linear regression models using arbitrary transformed outcomes are still valid. However, as stated before, in using linear regression models we assume researchers are interesting in estimating the magnitude of an association. If, instead, a ...
