Box-Cox Transformation Plot with PROC TRANSREG

This example is taken from Example 90.2 of Chapter 90, The TRANSREG Procedure. The following statements create a SAS data set that contains failure times for yarn:

   proc format;
      value a -1 =   8 0 =   9 1 =  10;
      value l -1 = 250 0 = 300 1 = 350;
      value o -1 =  40 0 =  45 1 =  50;
   run;
   
   data yarn;
      input Fail Amplitude Length Load @@;
      format amplitude a. length l. load o.;
      label fail = 'Time in Cycles until Failure';
      datalines;
    674 -1 -1 -1    370 -1 -1  0    292 -1 -1  1    338  0 -1 -1
   
   ... more lines ...   

   ;

The following statements set the output style to JOURNAL2 and run PROC TRANSREG:

   ods listing style=journal2;
   ods graphics on;
   
   proc transreg data=yarn;
      model BoxCox(fail / convenient lambda=-2 to 2 by 0.05) =
            qpoint(length amplitude load);
   run;

The log-likelihood plot in Figure 21.9 suggests a Box-Cox transformation with .
