Build Status codecov Coverage Status

This package provides an implementation of Box Cox transformation. See Wikipedia - Power Transform for more information.

Installation

] add BoxCoxTrans

Usage

The simplest way is to just call the transform function with an array of numbers.

julia> using Distributions, UnicodePlots, BoxCoxTrans

julia> x = rand(Gamma(2,2), 10000) .+ 1;

julia> histogram(x)

You can examine the power transform parameter (λ) derived by the program:

julia> BoxCoxTrans.lambda(x).value
0.013544484565969775

You can transfrom the data using your own λ:

julia> histogram(BoxCoxTrans.transform(x, 0.01))

There's an option to scale the results by the geometric mean.
