I am trying to replicate results from a research paper that has the calculated 2.5 percentile and 97.5 percentile for a dataset, both with log10 transformed and untransformed versions. I can match their results for the untransformed data but not for the log10 transformed data. Is there a different approach needed when working with transformed data?

The dataset is:

data = c(1.0798,0.6047,1.2799,0.7581,0.6652,0.9692,1.1422)

They also define the 2.5 and 97.5 percentile as:

mean+- 1.96*sd

For their results they get the following: | Stat | Value | |---------|-------| | Geomean | -0.047 | |s.d. (logmean)| 0.125| |Mean| 0.897| |2.5 percentile|0.510| |97.5 percentile|1.578|

Unfortunately they do not provide more information on how they define each statistic in the table above.

My understanding of geomeans with log transformed data might be wrong, but when I calculate the mean and geomean I get the values around the other way (i.e. my geomean = the paper's mean).

I have done my calculations both in R and excel and I can not get their percentiles using their formula. The dataset might be too small to really calculate these percentiles (?) but I would still like to replicate their results so I can make sure I am applying it appropriately to my work.

Am I missing something or is there a mistake in the paper? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
