Abstract:
This paper provides an analytical review of the significant role of the Box-Cox transformation technique in a variety of statistical fields such as estimation, testing, inference and model selection. Although the Box-Cox transformation technique has been extensively studied during the past few decades, any analytical bibliography, particularly in the context of model selection, is yet to emerge. An attempt is made in this paper to bridge this gap

Keywords: Box-Cox transformation; functional forms; model selection; estimation; hypothesis test
