Figure 1
The distribution of gross domestic product per capita: untransformed (A) and natural log transformed (B). Visual inspection suggests that the distribution of GDP per capita is closer to normal when it is natural log transformed. GDP = Gross domestic product.
Figure 2
Figure 2
The relationship between GDP per capita and excess mortality with GDP per capita untransformed (A) and natural log transformed (B). Visual inspection suggests there is more of a linear relationship when GDP per capita is natural log transformed. GDP = Gross domestic product.
Figure 3
Figure 3
Testing for heteroskedasticity: Gross domestic product untransformed (A) and natural log transformed (B). Visual inspection suggests natural log transformation reduces heteroskedasticity.
