On Quick Choice of Power Transformation

David Hinkley

Journal of the Royal Statistical Society Series C, 1977, vol. 26, issue 1, 67-69

Abstract: In an earlier article (Hinkley, 1975) the author has discussed an order‐statistic method for the fitting of power transformations of data to obtain approximate symmetry of transformed data distributions. The method is easy to apply to homogeneous samples and does not require normality. A similar quick method of choosing a symmetrizing transformation is outlined here, and a simple example is given.
