A transformed mean, m, with variance s2 on a sample of size, n, has a backtransformed variance (ie on the original scale) given below. A transformed mean, m, with variance s^2^ on a sample of size, n, has a backtransformed variance (ie on the original scale) given below.

It is sometimes necessary to transform data to, for example, downweight the influence of outliers, prior to performing any analysis. The reciprocal of reaction times is used for this purpose.
