The Use of the Arc-Sine Transformation in the Analysis of Variance.

Milligan, Glenn W.

Educational and Psychological Measurement, v47 n3 p563-73 Fall 1987

The use of the arc-sine transformation in analysis of variance can lead to difficult inference situations and pose problems in interpretation. It can also produce tests of noticeably lower power when the null hypothesis is false, and is not recommended as a standard tool. Simulated illustrations are provided. (Author/GDC)
