vector BoxCox(vector vd[, double lambda, int options, double period]) vector jtrans(vector vd) vector yeojohnson(vector vd[, double lambda])
BoxCox() is used to return a dataset transformed by a Box-Cox power transformation.
It requires data to be positive values.
If lambda is NANUM, its value will be estimated before transformation.
options = 0 to get results like Scipy
options = 1 to get results like SPC.
options = 2 to get results like time series in Minitab.
When options = 2, period is the seasonal period of the original time series.
jtrans() transforms a continuous univariate vector to a random vector from standard normal distribution.
yeojohnson() computes the Yeo-Johnson transformation, which is a normalizing transformation.
It handles both positive and negative values, whereas the Box-Cox transformation only handles positive values.
In Set Column Values, you can find above functions under the Statistics category.
