RT Generic T1 A quantile approach to the box-cox transformation in random samples A1 Velilla Cerdan, Santiago A2 Universidad Carlos III de Madrid. Departamento de Economía, AB This paper presents an alternative approach to the likelihood methods for estimating the parameter A in the Box-Cox family of transformations when the data arise from a random sample. The method is based on a representation of the quantile function of the variable under consideration. Theoretical properties of the method, its practical applications and comparison with the likelihood approach are studied.
