Description: Two nonparametric methods for multiple regression transform selection are provided.
The first, Alternative Conditional Expectations (ACE),
is an algorithm to find the fixed point of maximal
correlation, i.e. it finds a set of transformed response variables that maximizes R^2
using smoothing functions [see Breiman, L., and J.H. Friedman. 1985. "Estimating Optimal Transformations
for Multiple Regression and Correlation". Journal of the American Statistical Association.
80:580-598. <doi:10.1080/01621459.1985.10478157>].
Also included is the Additivity Variance Stabilization (AVAS) method which works better than ACE when
correlation is low [see Tibshirani, R.. 1986. "Estimating Transformations for Regression via Additivity
and Variance Stabilization". Journal of the American Statistical Association. 83:394-405.
<doi:10.1080/01621459.1988.10478610>]. A good introduction to these two methods is in chapter 16 of
Frank Harrel's "Regression Modeling Strategies" in the Springer Series in Statistics.
