boxcox

Compute a one-parameter Box-Cox transformation.

The one-parameter Box-Cox transformation is defined as

Usage

var boxcox = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/boxcox' );

boxcox( x, lambda )

Computes a one-parameter Box-Cox transformation.

var v = boxcox( 1.0, 2.5 );
// returns 0.0

v = boxcox( 4.0, 2.5 );
// returns 12.4

v = boxcox( 10.0, 2.5 );
// returns ~126.0911

v = boxcox( 2.0, 0.0 );
// returns ~0.6931

v = boxcox( -1.0, 2.5 );
// returns NaN

v = boxcox( 0.0, -1.0 );
// returns -Infinity

Examples

var incrspace = require( '@stdlib/array/incrspace' );
var boxcox = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/boxcox' );

var x = incrspace( -1.0, 10.0, 1.0 );
var l = incrspace( -0.5, 5.0, 0.5 );
var b;
var i;
var j;

for ( i = 0; i < x.length; i++ ) {
    for ( j = 0; j < l.length; j++ ) {
        b = boxcox( x[ i ], l[ j ] );
        console.log( 'boxcox(%d, %d) = %d', x[ i ], l[ j ], b );
    }
}
