n_goalposts: Normalise using goalpost method

In COINr: Composite Indicator Construction and Analysis

Normalise using goalpost method

Description

The distance of each value of x from the lower "goalpost" to the upper one. Goalposts are specified by gposts = c(l, u, a), where l is the lower bound, u is the upper bound, and a is a scaling parameter.

Usage

n_goalposts(x, gposts, direction = 1, trunc2posts = TRUE)

Arguments

x	A numeric vector
gposts	A numeric vector c(l, u, a), where l is the lower bound, u is the upper bound, and a is a scaling parameter.
direction	Either 1 or -1. Set to -1 to flip goalposts.
trunc2posts	If TRUE (default) will truncate any values that fall outside of the goalposts.

Details

Specify direction = -1 to "flip" the goalposts. This may be necessary depending on how the goalposts were defined.

Value

Numeric vector

Examples

x <- runif(20)
n_goalposts(x, gposts = c(0.2, 0.8, 1))
