Choosing Box‑Cox vs Manual Log‑Plus‑Constant for Right‑Skewed Responses with Zeros in Minitab Regression
The task is to transform a right‑skewed response that contains zeros for regression analysis in Minitab, using a documented feature. Box‑Cox automatic lambda estimation requires strictly positive values, so the presence of zeros prevents the transformation from being applied, while the manual log‑plus‑constant method adds a chosen constant to zeros before lo
