Likelihood Based Inference on the Box-Cox Family of Transformations:

SAS and Matlab Programs

Abstract

Box and Cox (1964) proposed a parametric family of power transformations of the data to reduce problems with non-normality and heteroscedasticity. This paper presents programs in SAS and MATLAB to compute the MLE and to compute approximate confidence intervals for the Box-Cox transformation parameter.
