On power transformations to symmetry

DAVID V. HINKLEY

School of Statistics, University of Minnesota Twin Cities

Transformations to symmetry, or approximate symmetry, are considered. In particular, properties of simple estimates based on eqnitailed order statistics are derived. Examples include transformation of exponential and gamma random variables. Errors in previous work are discovered and partially corrected.

Key Words: Maximum likelihood • Order statistics • Robustness • Symmetry • Transformation
