Manly(1971) Transformations — pow

The transformation was reported to be successful in transform unimodal skewed distribution into normal distribution, but is not quite useful for bimodal or U-shaped distribution.

pow_manly(x, lambda = NULL)

Arguments

x	`[univariate vector]` Univariate vector, numeric or ts object with only one dimension.
lambda	`[numeric(1): NULL]` Transformation exponent, \(\lambda\).

[univariate vector]

Univariate vector, numeric or ts object with only one dimension.

lambda

[numeric(1): NULL]

Transformation exponent, \(\lambda\).

Value

Returns a vector with the same class and attributes as the input vector.

Examples
