Hello -
Once again, please excuse me if this question is rather basic - I'm a
stata9 user, and have a dataset (one response, two predictors) that I
need to transform to normality using power transforms. I would only
like to transform the independent variables, and come up with a
vector of transformation coefficients to use on my variables. I'm
looking to use the box-cox extension to select the appropriate
transform (where you get a vector of transformation coefficients that
maximizes the logarithm of the determinant of the covariance matrix
for the variables being transformed.) I was somehow unable to do this
with the 'boxcox' command in stata, for I kept getting a single value
for the transformation coefficients...
I would really appreciate some help in this matter - the more
detailed the better. :-)
I look forward to hearing from you,
Manasi
