Description

None(None)

This data preprocessing presents the data unchanged.

Logarithmic(Log)

In this data preprocessing, all the numeric values are replaced by their logarithmic values.

Box-Cox(BC)

Is a parametric power transformation technique in order to reduce anomalies such as non-normality and heteroscedasticity. This data preprocessing was introduced by Tukey (1957) as a family of power transformations such that the transformed values are a monotonic function of the observations over admissible range.
