Three samples of quasar spectra observed by the Keck telescope are selected and reconstructed the perturbations of mass density using the Gaussianization method, from which the wavelet power spectra are obtained.Two parameters in the lognormal model, namely the shape factor Γ and the Jeans smoothing factor r, are input as thawed parameters. The most possible values of Γ and r are determined by comparing the result of statistical analysis on the observed sample with that on a simulated sample. The result is: Γ ≈ 0.50 and r ≈ 0.09. Thenon-Guassian features contained in the quasar spectra can not be excluded using the traditional Gaussianization method. However, at the scale of >100 kpc, these features have little/no influence on our results described above. This argument has been verified by comparing the observed sample with the simulated on their skewness and kurtosis spectra, and the scale-scale correlations.
