Box–Tidwell transformation

a transformation used to modify a set of predictor variables so that the relationship between those predictors and the outcome variable resembles a straight line. It is similar to the Box–Cox transformation for correcting nonlinearity but instead is applied to the independent variables (predictors) involved. [George E. P. Box (1919–2013), British statistician; Paul William Tidwell (1926–2013), U.S. chemist and statistician]
