EXESCTRAN

Use the Stepwise Gaussian option to transform two or three database variables such that the bivariate (or trivariate) and marginal distributions of the transformed variables are all standard Gaussian. This means that each one of the variables are transformed to standard Gaussian in such a way that the correlation between them is zero. This transformation is useful when simulating or estimating variables that are correlated to each other. By applying this transformation the Gaussian variables have a zero correlation coefficient between them, allowing you to treat them separately.

Note:  The parameter file must be already created and stored in your working directory. You can set up the parameter file using Block > Gaussian Transformation > Stepwise Gaussian.
