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,

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

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

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

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: > >

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. The data consists of NZ$ prices and attributes for 643 cars. > summary(price) Min. 1st Qu. Median Mean 3rd Qu. Max. NA's 14290 35800 48990 65400 79000 285000 2 > library(MASS) > boxcox(price

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, 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

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]]

Hi there, I wrote a function that wraps MASS::boxcox as: bc <- function(vec) { lam <- boxcox(lm(vec ~ 1)) lam <- lam$x[which.max(lam$y)] (vec^lam - 1)/lam } When I invoke it as: > x <- runif(20) > bc(x) Error in eval(predvars, data, env) : object 'vec' not found I have googled, and rewrote the above function as: bc <- function(vec) { dat <<-

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 <-

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

Hello, I am implementing the BoxCox transformation for multiple regression using the function boxcox() from library MASS (this seems to be the best one). To avoid negative values in the variable to be transformed however, one must specify a shift parameter. However different choices for the value of the shift parameter result in different estimates for the exponent (lambda) and in different

Hmm, this looks like a buglet/infelicity in update.lm rather than MASS::boxcox per se. Moving to R-devel. I think the story is that update.lm eventually does eval(call, parent.frame()) where the call is extracted from the lm object, but call$formula is unevaluated, and does not contain environment information like formula(obj) would do. Then when the call is evaluated and parent.frame()

Dear r-helpers, Prior to analysis of variance, I ran the Boxcox function (MASS library) to find the best power transformation of my data. However, reading the Boxcox help file, I cannot figure out if this function (through its associated log-likelihood function) corrects for * normality only * or if it also induces * homogeneity of variances *. I found in Biometry (Sokal and Rohlf, p. 419)

Hi, Thakns all for your help I am doing the next in my dataframe tabla, column pend1, because the Lilliefors (Kolmogorov-Smirnov) test give me a pvalue < alfa. (data no normal distribution). I need do a transformation with box-cox or other: > bc <- boxcox.fit(tabla$pend1) R send to me: Error in boxcox.fit(tabla$pend1) : Transformation requires positive data The summary for my data

Hi, I'm doing some work with linear models, and I've scaled my data using the scale(dataset) function. This was great at removing the skew, but I now can't perform the Box Cox transformation on the data set (using the boxcox(dataset) function), as the scaling has returned negative values. So my question is: how can I get the scale function to return a positive set of data (so I can
