The Box-Cox Power Transformation

Let’s learn about the Box-Cox power transformation.

We'll cover the following

The Box-Cox family of transformations

In this example, we decided to try the square root and natural log transformations. But maybe there are better alternatives? The MASS package (Venables & Ripley 2002)Venables, W.N. & Ripley, B.D. Modern Applied Statistics with S. Springer (2002). has a handy function that applies the Box-Cox family of transformations.
