R Code for Yeo-Johnson transformation

Question

I have writen code for a Box-Cox transformation (see below). But now I want to do a Yeo-Johnson transformation because datc$plot contains zeros. I tried, but I didn't find a solution.

lambda.fm1 <- boxcox(datc$plot ~ datc$cond.evlot*datc$cond.dl*datc$version), 
                     family="yjPower")
lambda.max <- lambda.fm1$x[which.max(lambda.fm1$y)]
require(car)
datc$plott <- bcPower(datc$plot, lambda = lambda.max, jacobian.adjusted = FALSE)

Hi Daniel, welcome to the site. You don't have to code it yourself. The Yeo-Johnson transformations are implemented in the car package with the function yjPower. So just use yjPower(datc$plot, lambda=lambda.max, jacobian.adjusted=FALSE). I think that should work. — COOLSerdash, May 28 '13 at 09:12
Thanks @ COOLSerdash I tried, but the problem is in the fist line: — Daniel Big, May 28 '13 at 09:24
lambda.fm1 <- boxcox(datc$plot, ... doesn´t work because datc$plot contains zeros — Daniel Big, May 28 '13 at 09:26
Okay, then try to use the function boxCox from the car package and use it with the option family="yjPower". — COOLSerdash, May 28 '13 at 09:26
See the yeo.johnson function in the package VGAM as well. It is on CRAN. — Glen_b, May 28 '13 at 12:07

From a recent update (2013, August 04^th), caret R package (see page 97) also supports Y-J power transformation.

I'm looking for the inverse of Yeo-Johnson Transformation in R. Could you please give a link on a package/function. – Nick Mar 26 '17 at 02:24
