Transform a numeric vector

Description

The get_transform() gets transformation of numeric variable.

Usage

get_transform(
  x,
  method = c("log", "sqrt", "log+1", "log+a", "1/x", "x^2", "x^3", "Box-Cox",
    "Yeo-Johnson")
)

Arguments

x

numeric. numeric for transform

method

character. transformation method of numeric variable

Details

The supported transformation method is follow.:

• "log" : log transformation. log(x)

• "log+1" : log transformation. log(x + 1). Used for values that contain 0.

• "log+a" : log transformation. log(x + 1 - min(x)). Used for values that contain 0.

• "sqrt" : square root transformation.

• "1/x" : 1 / x transformation

• "x^2" : x square transformation

• "x^3" : x^3 square transformation

• "Box-Cox" : Box-Box transformation

• "Yeo-Johnson" : Yeo-Johnson transformation
