boxcoxinv

Compute the inverse of a one-parameter Box-Cox transformation.

To compute the inverse of a one-parameter Box-Cox transformation, one finds the x such that

Usage

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

boxcoxinv( y, lambda )

Computes the inverse of a one-parameter Box-Cox transformation.

var v = boxcoxinv( 1.0, 2.5 );
// returns ~1.6505

v = boxcoxinv( 4.0, 2.5 );
// returns ~2.6095

v = boxcoxinv( 10.0, 2.5 );
// returns ~3.6812

v = boxcoxinv( 2.0, 0.0 );
// returns ~7.3891

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

v = boxcoxinv( 0.0, -1.0 );
// returns 1.0

v = boxcoxinv( 1.0, NaN );
// returns NaN

v = boxcoxinv( NaN, 3.1 );
// returns NaN

Examples

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

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