Description: 
    Automatically evaluates common normalizing transformations of numeric
    variables and selects the best-fitting transformation for each based
    on squared correlation with theoretical normal quantiles. Available
    transformations include Rankit, arcsine, logit/log-odds, logarithmic,
    square-root, and inverse/reciprocal. Performs six normality tests
    (Thode, 2002, <doi:10.1201/9780203910894>), incorporating
    simulation-based p-value calibration for small-sample Jarque–Bera and
    optionally Lilliefors, as well as subsampling for Shapiro–Wilk when
    sample sizes exceed its supported limit. Available tests include
    Anderson–Darling, Pearson chi-square, D'Agostino–Pearson omnibus,
    Jarque–Bera, Kolmogorov–Smirnov with Lilliefors correction, and
    Shapiro–Wilk. A descriptive statistical report of the retained input
    data in their original units, including the five-number summary and
    mathematical moments, is also presented. The Rankit empirical normal
    quantile transformation (ENQT) (Soloman and Sawilowsky, 2009,
    <doi:10.22237/jmasm/1257034080>) is provided for those requiring
    rank-based normalization and to facilitate its adoption. Structured
    analytical results and paired visualizations of original and transformed
    distributions are also available.
