Johnson transform to normality using the Z family of distributions. Performs the Johnson Transformation based on the method of the percentiles. Returns the the transformed variable, the function used and de p-value of the transformation.

1	RE.Johnson(x)

`x`	x vector of observations

The values of the Johnson Transformation Function can be obtained

The objects returned consists of the following items: function type of function used in transformation (SB,SL or SU) p-value the resulting p-value of the transformation transformed the data vector of transformed variable f.gamma, f.lambda, f.epsilon and f.eta the values of the variables in the transformation function.

Note that the transformed variable often present a good fit to the normal distribution.
