Hello,

I would like to perform a Box-Cox (“bcPower”) transformation on my data. For this, I am determining lambda using the “powerTransform” function. However, with one of my variables I get the following 

Warning Message:
In estimateTransform(x, y, NULL, ...) :
  Convergence failure: return code = 52 My variable is: 
> x

x_BCx <- bcPower(x, lambda= dlambda$lambda, jacobian.adjusted= FALSE)
 Does anyone know why I may be getting this Warning Message?  If you require more details please get in touch.

Many thanks in advance!
