Do you include repeated or corrected words (like “I-I-I think…”), or clean them up?

I was recently transcribing an interview and noticed that the speaker frequently repeated words and corrected themselves, saying things like 'I-I-I think...' before continuing. I wasn't sure whether I should keep those repetitions exactly as spoken or clean them up to make the transcript easier to read. In a situation like this, what's the best approach?
