If method=="guerrero"
, Guerrero's (1993) method is used, where lambda
minimizes the coefficient of variation for subseries of x
.
BoxCox.lambda(x, method = c("guerrero", "loglik"), lower = -1, upper = 2)
a numeric vector or time series of class ts
Choose method to be used in calculating lambda.
Lower limit for possible lambda values.
Upper limit for possible lambda values.
a number indicating the Box-Cox transformation parameter.
If method=="loglik"
, the value of lambda is chosen to maximize the
profile log likelihood of a linear model fitted to x
. For
non-seasonal data, a linear time trend is fitted while for seasonal data, a
linear time trend with seasonal dummy variables is used.
