Box-Cox Unpacked: Transforming Data for Better Analysis

A concise introduction to the Box-Cox data transformation. Learn what it is, why it's useful, and how the lambda parameter shapes the transformation; how maximum likelihood selects the best value toward normality; plus practical tips, checks, and caveats (positive data requirements, outliers, and post-transform diagnostics). Real-world contexts—from manufacturing to finance—illustrate how this tool strengthens standard analyses and when to consider alternatives like the Yeo–Johnson transformation.
