+    (description
+     "Estimate a suite of normalizing transformations, including a new
+adaptation of a technique based on ranks which can guarantee normally
+distributed transformed data if there are no ties: @dfn{ordered quantile
+normalization} (ORQ).  ORQ normalization combines a rank-mapping approach with
+a shifted logit approximation that allows the transformation to work on data
+outside the original domain.  It is also able to handle new data within the
+original domain via linear interpolation.  The package is built to estimate
+the best normalizing transformation for a vector consistently and accurately.
+It implements the Box-Cox transformation, the Yeo-Johnson transformation,
+three types of Lambert WxF transformations, and the ordered quantile
+normalization transformation.  It estimates the normalization efficacy of
+other commonly used transformations, and it allows users to specify custom
+transformations or normalization statistics.  Finally, functionality can be
+integrated into a machine learning workflow via recipes.")
