How to Transform Data to Better Fit The Normal Distribution - MachineLearningMastery.com
A large portion of the field of statistics is concerned with methods that assume a Gaussian distribution: the familiar bell curve. If your data has a Gaussian distribution, the parametric methods are powerful and well understood. This gives some incentive to use them if possible.

By Jason Brownlee on August 8, 2019 in Statistics 64 Share Post Share A large portion of the field of statistics is concerned with methods that assume a Gaussian distribution: the familiar bell curve. If your data has a Gaussian distribution, the parametric methods are powerful and well understood. This gives some incentive to use them if possible. Even if your data does not have a Gaussian distribution. It is possible that your data does not look Gaussian or fails a normality test, but can be transformed to make it fit a Gaussian distribution. This is more likely if you are familiar with the
