Hello,
I would like to perform a Box-Cox (“bcPower”) transformation on my data. For
this, I am determining lambda using the “powerTransform” function. However, with
one of my variables I get the following Warning Message:
In estimateTransform(x, y, NULL, ...) :
Convergence failure: return code = 52
My variable is: > x

code is:dlambda <- powerTransform(x) #It is here where I get the
warning message
x_BCx <- bcPower(x, lambda= dlambda$lambda, jacobian.adjusted= FALSE)
Does anyone have an idea of why I could be getting this Warning Message? If
you require more details please get in touch.
Thanks a lot!
