📂 Project: Dev
⭐ Priority: MEDIUM

Session Goal

The session aimed to explore the proportional effect mechanism in distributions and the application of logarithmic transformations in data analysis.

Key Activities

  • Proportional Effect Mechanism: Examined its relationship with lognormal and Pareto distributions, and its role in modeling real-world phenomena.
  • Logarithmic Transformations: Analyzed the use of logarithmic transformations in handling data with proportional behavior, focusing on zero levels and deviations.
  • PhD Thesis Analysis: Investigated the transformation of variables within a PhD thesis context, addressing implications and concerns.
  • Challenges with Transformations: Discussed issues near critical points in logarithmic transformations and suggested alternative methods.
  • Economic Implications: Linked the proportional effect mechanism to economic systems and explored convolution in firm value distributions.

Achievements

  • Clarified the role of the proportional effect mechanism in statistical modeling.
  • Gained insights into the application of logarithmic transformations in data analysis.
  • Identified challenges and potential alternatives for transformations near critical points.

Pending Tasks

  • Further exploration of alternative transformations for critical point issues.
  • Deep dive into economic implications of these statistical methods.
