mean after transformation but prior to standardization
sd
sd after transformation but prior to standardization
lambda
estimated lambda value for skew transformation
n
number of nonmissing observations
norm_stat
Pearson's P / degrees of freedom
standardize
was the transformation standardized
The predict function returns the numeric value of the transformation
performed on new data, and allows for the inverse transformation as well.
Arguments
x
A vector to normalize with Box-Cox
standardize
If TRUE, the transformed values are also centered and
scaled, such that the transformation attempts a standard normal
...
Additional arguments that can be passed to the estimation of the
lambda parameter (lower, upper, epsilon)
object
an object of class 'boxcox'
newdata
a vector of data to be (reverse) transformed
inverse
if TRUE, performs reverse transformation
Details
boxcox estimates the optimal value of lambda for the Box-Cox
transformation. This transformation can be performed on new data, and
inverted, via the predict function.
The function will return an error if a user attempt to transform nonpositive
data.
