Are we still expecting this to appear, @ericchang00? |
Definitely - I was actually just reading the paper again yesterday. It's a substantial piece of work, so it may take around a month before we can submit a PR. Is that fine? |
That's fine. I was mostly just curious.

And thanks!

Thanks for working on this @ericchang00. I’m interested in this transformation being implemented. How’s it going so far? |
Hi @chang, what's the status? |
No big deal, just excited to have something a little bit less constrained
than boxcox. It's harder to make it default behaviour if we've already
released PowerTransformer, which I suspect we will have before this change
is merged.

Description
Right now,
sklearn.preprocessing.PowerTransformer
implements the Box-Cox transform (#10210), which only works on positive, nonzero data. The Yeo-Johnson transform is an alternative power transformation that supports negative and zero values. Yeo and Johnson also proposed a more robust technique for selecting the transformation parameter (paper linked below), which may be a good alternative to maximum likelihood.Original paper

@jwilber and I plan to tackle this implementation together.
