Transformation of the dependent variable                         (STB-10: sg13)
----------------------------------------

                  ^atkinson^ varlist [^if^ exp] [^in^ range]

Description
-----------

^atkinson^ temporarily adds a variable to your data set that is a function of 
the dependent variable.  This new variable (called ^lambda1^) is added to your
regression, using the raw, untransformed, dependent variable.  If the t-test
of ^lambda1^ is statistically significant, then you should transform.  A crude
guess of the transform is 1-(coefficient of ^lambda1^).  For a better estimate
use ^boxcox^.

The t-test, and its p-value, and the suggested transformation are shown,
although the diagnostic regression is not shown.
