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
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.
Box and Cox may refer to: . Box and Cox, a comic play by John Maddison Morton first produced in 1847; Box and Cox Publications, a London music publisher; George Box and Sir David Cox, who devised the Box–Cox transformation to normalise data into a Box–Cox distribution
The parameter q represents the degree of non-extensivity of the distribution. ... proposed by George Box and David Cox in 1964. [2] q-exponential
Wikipedia defines the Box-Cox distribution as “the distribution of a random variable X for which the Box–Cox transformation on X follows a truncated normal distribution.” The truncated-normal variate is defined as Y, which is the Box-Cox transformation of X: Y = (X^a – 1)/a if a is not equal to zero, else Y = ln(X).
George Box. The phrase "all models are wrong" was first attributed to George Box in a 1976 paper published in the Journal of the American Statistical Association.In the paper, Box uses the phrase to refer to the limitations of models, arguing that while no model is ever completely accurate, simpler models can still provide valuable insights if applied judiciously.

From a uniform distribution, we can transform to any distribution with an invertible cumulative distribution function. If G is an invertible cumulative distribution function, and U is a uniformly distributed random variable, then the random variable G −1 (U) has G as its cumulative distribution function.
The exponential distribution is recovered as . Originally proposed by the statisticians George Box and David Cox in 1964, [2] and known as the reverse Box–Cox transformation for =, a particular case of power transform in statistics.
