  <dc:title>A Moment-Targeting Normality Transformation Based on Tukey g-h
Distribution</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package osktnorm version 1.1.2</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Implements a moment-targeting normality transformation based on the
    simultaneous optimization of Tukey g-h distribution parameters. The method 
    is designed to minimize both asymmetry (skewness) and excess peakedness 
    (kurtosis) in non-normal data by mapping it to a standard normal distribution
    Cebeci et al (2026) &lt;doi:10.3390/sym18030458&gt;. Optimization is performed 
    by minimizing an objective function derived from the Anderson-Darling 
    goodness-of-fit statistic with Stephens's correction factor, utilizing the
    L-BFGS-B algorithm for robust parameter estimation. This approach provides an 
    effective alternative to power transformations like Box-Cox and Yeo-Johnson, 
    particularly for data requiring precise tail-behavior adjustment.</dc:description>
