Thank you, Dr. Rutstein, for your information!

Following up one of your comments on skewed data (number of farm animals and land area), I would like to know what type of consideration could be more commonly thought. Could log transformation or truncation at certain value/percentile could be an option?

Sincerely,

Goro
