Need to Transform Non-Normal Data using Yeo-Johnson Transformation?

QI Macros can run a Yeo-Johnson Transformation on your data in seconds!

Yeo-Johnson Transformation uses a statistical calculation to transform non-normal data to a normal distribution so that additional analysis can be performed. While this transformation is designed for numerical data, said data can contain positive AND negative values.

NOTE: The proper Lambda will be chosen automatically to provide the best normal distribution output.

If we ran a histogram on the before and after data sets we can compare the non-normal and normal distributions.

Non-Normal Data

Normalized Data

NOTE: If you have multiple columns of data, all rows need to be equal. If they are not, you would instead need to either run transformation on each column separately or place all data into (1) column.
