Abstract


The Yeo-Johnson transformation extends the Box-Cox transformation for responses in linear models to observations that can be positive or negative. The extended Yeo-Johnson transformation allows positive and negative responses to have different transformations. Analyses of data show this to be necessary. Robustness enters in the fan plot for which the forward search provides an ordering of the data. Plausible transformations are checked with an extended fan plot. These procedures are used to compare parametric power transformations with the non-parametric transformations produced by ACE and AVAS. We suggest further directions for this kind of research and, on the way, mention a little history.
