A Study of Power Transforms.

Abstract

In most practical situations, the data one has do not follow the normal distribution; if the data were normal, one could use all of the procedures of multivariate analysis which apply to normally distributed data. In this paper, a routine method for making the data follow the normal distribution more closely is discussed; this method is to transform the data. (Author)
