power.transform (version 1.0.3)

Location and Scale Invariant Power Transformations

Description

Location- and scale-invariant Box-Cox and Yeo-Johnson power transformations allow for transforming variables with distributions distant from 0 to normality. Transformers are implemented as S4 objects. These allow for transforming new instances to normality after optimising fitting parameters on other data. A test for central normality allows for rejecting transformations that fail to produce a suitably normal distribution, independent of sample number.
