Data Transformation in Two-Way Analysis of Variance.
Abstract
One purpose of data transformation is to better satisfy the fundamental assumptions of statistical analysis by linear models: (a) Additivity; (b) Homogeneity of variance; (c) Normality. If the original data do not satisfy (a) - (c), a nonlinear transformation may improve approximation to these ideal conditions. This paper considers estimation of the parameter lambda of the family of power transformations, Y(sub T)(Sup lambda) = Y sup lambda if lambda not = 0, Y(Sub T)(Sup lambda) = log Y if lambda = 0 for data conforming to a replicated two-way crossed classification.
