BoxCox() returns a transformation of the input variable using a Box-Cox
transformation. InvBoxCox() reverses the transformation.
Usage

Value

Arguments
x
a numeric vector or time series
lambda
transformation parameter

Details
The Box-Cox transformation is given by
$$f_{\lambda}(x) =\frac{x^{\lambda} - 1}{\lambda}$$
if \(\lambda\ne0\). For \(\lambda=0\),
$$f_0(x) = \log(x).$$
