In statistics, a power transform is a family of functions applied to create a monotonic transformation of data using power functions.It is a data transformation technique used to stabilize variance, make the data more normal distribution-like, improve the validity of measures of association (such as the Pearson correlation between variables), and for other data stabilization procedures.
In statistics, the Box–Cox distribution (also known as the power-normal distribution) is the distribution of a random variable X for which the Box–Cox transformation on X follows a truncated normal distribution. It is a continuous probability distribution having probability density function (pdf) given by

Box used the aphorism again in 1979, where he expanded on the idea by discussing how models serve as useful approximations, despite failing to perfectly describe empirical phenomena. [7] He reiterated this sentiment in his later works , where he discussed how models should be judged based on their utility rather than their absolute correctness.
As currently written, the power transform article mentions just the Box-Cox, so a merge/redirect would make sense. However, I think that other article could be improved by generalizing beyond just the Box-Cox (e.g., taking the square root of Poisson data before performing linear regression).

Extensions of the Cox proportional hazard models are popular models in social sciences and medical science to assess associations between variables and risk of recurrence, or to predict recurrent event outcomes. Many extensions of survival models based on the Cox proportional hazards approach have been proposed to handle recurrent event data.
Isoelastic utility for different values of . When > the curve approaches the horizontal axis asymptotically from below with no lower bound.. In economics, the isoelastic function for utility, also known as the isoelastic utility function, or power utility function, is used to express utility in terms of consumption or some other economic variable that a decision-maker is concerned with.
