Description
ladder searches a subset of the ladder of powers (Tukey 1977) for a transform that converts
varname into a normally distributed variable.
gladder and qladder each display agraph matrix. gladder displays nine histograms oftransforms
ofvarname according to the ladder ofpowers. qladder displays the quantiles oftransforms ofvarname
according to the ladder of powers against the quantiles of a normal distribution.
