Hello I am using box.cox() and I get this error message: Warning message: 'box.cox' is deprecated. Use 'bcPower' instead. See help("Deprecated") and help("car-deprecated"). I went to help but I did not understand the explanation, I am still wondering what is really happening. Thanks /R

It means the author of that package has decided to start using a different function going forward but is still providing box.cox() for back-compatibility while the transition is made. Specifically, you should look up bcPower and replace box.cox in your scripts. For more information, type help("car-deprecated") at the prompt.
