Box Cox Transformation
Named for statisticians Box and Cox, who identified the equation and the process it represents. This equation is applied when two groups of data, each measured in a different format, must be synthesized (i.e., "transformed") – usually through conversion to a normal distribution of the values in the data set(s) – to create a single uniform method of measurement to provide new information about the data as a whole.
