Re: [R] Scaling variables to positive values using scale() or performing BoxCox on negative data

Great! Have managed to shift my dataset to positive. Thanks for all your help. Henry. 2009/11/30 David Winsemius > > On Nov 30, 2009, at 11:47 AM, Henry Thorogood wrote: > > The scale function seems to have tackled the skew, just looking at the >> boxplots for the data

[R] Scaling variables to positive values using scale() or performing BoxCox on negative data

Hi, I'm doing some work with linear models, and I've scaled my data using the scale(dataset) function. This was great at removing the skew, but I now can't perform the Box Cox transformation on the data set (using the boxcox(dataset) function), as the scaling has returned negative values. So my q
