Box–Cox transform

Can be applied to the left-hand side, right-hand side, or both
Parameters can be the same or different
Maximum likelihood
Zero-skewness log

Power transforms

Search for power transform that converts a variable into a normally distributed variable
Graphical display of a power-transformed variable

Orthogonal polynomials

Orthogonalize variables using modified Gram–Schmidt procedures
Compute orthogonal polynomial for a variable

Two by Mardia

Drawing samples from multivariate normal distribution

Default is orthogonal data
May specify desired means and covariance or correlation matrix
Singular covariance matrix is permitted
Set random-number seed to ensure reproducibility

Creating datasets with specified correlation structure

Add variables to existing dataset or create new dataset
Singular covariance or correlation structures are permitted
Set random-number seed to ensure reproducibility

Collecting statistics into a dataset

Collection from any command
Collection of results for each group or subgroup of observations
Collection from community-contributed or “official” commands
