SUMMARYThe power transformation family is often used for transforming to a normal linear model. The variance of the regression parameter estimators can be much larger when the transformation parameter is unknown and must be estimated, compared to when the transformation parameter is known. We consider prediction of future untransformed observations when the data can be transformed to a linear model. When the transformation must be estimated, the prediction error is not much larger than when the parameter is known.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
