Box–Cox distribution
In
statistics
, the
Box–Cox
distribution
is the distribution of a
random variable
X
for which the
Box–Cox transformation
on
X
follows a
truncated normal distribution
. It is a
continuous probability distribution
having
probability density function
given by
for
y
> 0, where
m
is the
location parameter
of the distribution,
s
is the
dispersion
,
ƒ
is the
family
parameter,
I
is the
indicator function
, Φ is the
cumulative distribution function
of the
standard normal distribution
, and
sgn
is the
sign function
.
Special
cases
ƒ
= 1 gives a truncated
normal distribution
.
