The starship procedure for transformations to normality described by Owen (1988) is implemented using the Johnson (1949) System of transformations, the Slifker-Shapiro (1980) technique for choosing a transformation, and the Shapiro-Wilk (1965) test for normality. This procedure was applied to obtain maximum likelihood point estimates of a mean, to obtain confidence intervals on a mean, and to estimate percentiles of a distribution based on a sample. Simulations of three distributions show that the starship has many desirable properties, and can be compared very favorably with the bootstrap procedures of Efron (1987). |
