Implement the Yeo-Johnson transform as part of PowerTransformer
See original GitHub issueDescription
Right now, sklearn.preprocessing.PowerTransformer
implements the Box-Cox transform (#10210), which only works on positive, nonzero data. The Yeo-Johnson transform is an alternative power transformation that supports negative and zero values. Yeo and Johnson also proposed a more robust technique for selecting the transformation parameter (paper linked below), which may be a good alternative to maximum likelihood.

@jwilber and I plan to tackle this implementation together.

No big deal, just excited to have something a little bit less constrained than boxcox. It’s harder to make it default behaviour if we’ve already released PowerTransformer, which I suspect we will have before this change is merged.
@jnothman Hey Joel - school just finished so we’ll be able to dedicate time to this for real this time. Sorry for the linger. We’ll submit a PR in 2-3 weeks. cc @chang
