Rescale
Rescale functions rescale
- rescale(a, min, max)
rescale(a, min, max) scales the attribute a between the literal/parameter minvalue and the literal/parametermax value.
The relative differences between the values in the new distribution are similar to the original distribution.
The resulting attribute has a new values unit and the same domain unit as attribute a.
To avoid rounding off errors in the rescale calculation, use a float32 of float64 value type for the a, min and max arguments.
Be cautious in using rescales. The values unit/metric of the original attribute get's lost, less checks can be applied and the results become more difficult to interpret.
The value type of attribute a and literal/parameter min and max must match.
