Equalize values within records

 

equrec Equalize values of data records
-d <data> data frame to be preprocessed
-dout <dataout> name of the preprocessed data frame
[-min <minval>] minimum value for target range (default 0)
[-max <maxval>] maximum value for target range (default 1)
[-global] should variance and average be used or just minimum and maximum

This operation equalizes values of each data record into range [minval,maxval]. In the normal case, it first locates the minimum and the maximum values from each data record and then all the values are scaled linearly from [min,max] to the specified (or unit) range. If -global is specified, the operation first calculates the variance of data record average values and then updates the values with the following equation:

The specifed minval and maxval have no effect in this mode.

For an example, see concseq (section 3.18).
