Thanks John. ?boxcox says: ************************* Arguments object a formula or fitted model object. Currently only lm and aov objects are handled. ************************* I read that as saying that boxcox(lm(z+1 ~ 1),...) should run without error. But it didn't. And perhaps here's why: BoxCoxLambda <- function(z){ b <- MASS:::boxcox.lm(lm(z+1 ~ 1), lambda = seq(-5, 5,

Dear Ron and Bert, First (and without considering why one would want to do this, e.g., adding a start of 1 to the data), the following works for me: ------ snip ------ > library(MASS) > BoxCoxLambda <- function(z){ + b <- boxcox(z + 1 ~ 1, + lambda = seq(-5, 5, length.out = 101), + plotit = FALSE) + b$x[which.max(b$y)] + } > mrow <- 500

I'm trying to write a small function (below) to compute Box & Cox transformations of x for arbitrary values of lambda. I'd like to specify a range of values for lamba (min,max,step) and am having trouble getting the for loop to work. Suggestions? Any pointers to resources for learning to write functions in R for neophyte programmers? Thanks. --Dale boxcox <-

No, I'm afraid I'm wrong. Something went wrong with my R session and gave me incorrect answers. After restarting, I continued to get the same error as you did with my supposed "fix." So just ignore what I said and sorry for the noise. -- Bert On Sat, Jul 8, 2023 at 8:28?AM Bert Gunter <bgunter.4567 at gmail.com> wrote: > Try this for your function: > >

Hi, Firstly, apologies as I have posted this on community.rstudio.com too. I want to optimise a Box-Cox transformation on columns of a matrix (ie, a unique lambda for each column). So I wrote a function that includes the call to MASS::boxcox in order that it can be applied to each column easily. Except that I'm getting an error when calling the function. If I just extract a column of the

Try this for your function: BoxCoxLambda <- function(z){ y <- z b <- boxcox(y + 1 ~ 1,lambda = seq(-5, 5, length.out = 61), plotit = FALSE) b$x[which.max(b$y)] # best lambda } ***I think*** (corrections and clarification strongly welcomed!) that `~` (the formula function) is looking for 'z' in the GlobalEnv, the caller of apply(), and not finding it. It finds

Help page for boxcox function in MASS library says that the transformation is y^lambda, which is different from the Y' = log(Y) if lambda = 0 , Y' = ((Y ^ lambda) - 1)/lambda otherwise I'm used to. Is this just a help page typo ? Thanks. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.

Greetings all! This problem occurs using R 1.8.1 on Windows XP. I downloaded the binaries for R and all packages, including the VR bundle, in December 2003.

Hi all, Does anyone know of a function that return the best lambda in box-cox transformation? many thanks for any help. -- Cristiane S.

I am trying to model the observed leaching of wood preservative chemicals from treated wood during an outdoor experiment where leaching is caused by rainfall events. For each rainfall event, the amount of rainfall was recorded as well as the amount of preservative chemical leached. A number of climatic variables were measured, but the most important is the amount of rainfall. I have tried a

Hi All, I'm analysing some data that is conventionally modelled as log(Y) = a + bX + e. However, using the boxcox function, it appears that the optimum value of lambda is approx 0.05. I have 40 data sets of differing sizes and for about half of these, lambda is significantly non-zero. So, it is worth looking into. The alternative model, Y^lambda = a + bX + e, has been explored before by

I've got a vector of data (hours to drive from a to b) y. After a qqplot I know, that they don't fit the normal probability. I would like to transform these data with the boxcox transformation (MASS), that they fit the model. When I try ybx<-boxcox(y~1,0) qqnorm(ybx) the plot is different from library (TeachingDemos) ybct<-bct(y,0) // qqnorm(ybct) How can I transform

Hi, I can't seem to find a function in R that will reverse a BoxCox transformation. Can somebody help me locate one please? Thanks in advance. Best wishes, Des [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear R-users, I am using R version 1.8.0-1 under Suse 8.2. I need to use the boxcox command because I want to apply a Cox-Box transformation to a vector of rainfall values. Within the libraries, the MASS library is present, but I don't know whether this means that is automatically installed or not. The command doesn't work. What do I have to do in order to make it working? Is just a

Hi, Hope this does not sound too ignorant . I am trying to detrend and transform variables to achieve normality and stationarity (for time series use, namely spectral analysis). I am using the boxcox transformations. As my dataset contains zeros, I found I need to add a constant to it in order to run "boxcox". I have ran tests adding several types of constants, from .0001

Dear experts, I tried to learn about Box-Cox-transformation but found the following thing: When I had to add a constant to make all values of the original variable positive, I found that the lambda estimates (box.cox.powers-function) differed dramatically depending on the specific constant chosen. In addition, the correlation between the transformed variable and the original were not 1 (as I

Dear all: I'm trying to fit the optimal Box-Cox transformation related to nls (see the code below) for the demand of money data in Green (3th Edition) but in the last step R gives the next error message.

Dear R users, Is it reasonable to transform data (measurements of plant height) to the power of 1/4? I?ve used boxcox(response~A*B) and lambda was close to 0.25. Regards, Christoph
