Re: [R] Box-Cox / data transformation question

What R commands were used to produce this estimate of the required transformation? Did the command used produce a confidence interval for the power transformation, as, e.g., "boxcox" in library(MASS) described by Venables and Ripley (2002) Modern Applied Statistics with S, 4th ed. (Spring
