dist2norm {clim.pact} | R Documentation

## Transform a series to a normally distributed series.

### Description

Used for DS on non-Gaussian data. Tailored for the use with daily precipitation. `dist2norm` transforms (maps) data to normal distribution and `norm2dist` carries out the reverse operation. The mapping/transformation is done through one-to-one matching of the empirical distribution functions (e.d.f.) of the data and a Gaussian distribution.

### Usage

      dist2norm(x,plot=FALSE,exclude=NULL,sd=1,mean=0,force.zero=TRUE)
      norm2dist(x,plot=FALSE,exclude=NULL,sd=1,mean=0,force.zero=TRUE)

### Arguments

`x` | vector.
`plot` | T -> plot for illustrating the mapping.
`exclude` | Values (e.g. 0) to exclude for the transform.
`sd` | The standard deviation of the transformed quantities.
`mean` | The mean value of the transformed quantities.
`force.zero` | Force the e.d.f. to start from 0.

### Value

a list object of class 'dist2norm' containing a vector and the empirical transform functions.
