minmax: Minmax Data Normalization

In TSPred: Functions for Benchmarking Time Series Prediction

Minmax Data Normalization

Description

The minmax() function normalizes data of the provided time series to bring values into the range [0,1]. minmax.rev() reverses the normalization.

Usage

minmax(data, max = NULL, min = NULL, byRow = FALSE)

minmax.rev(data, max, min)

Arguments

data	A numeric vector, a univariate time series containing the values to be normalized, or a matrix with sliding windows as returned by sw.
max	Integer indicating the maximal value in data, or a vector with the maximal values of each row (sliding window) in data. If NULL it is automatically computed.
min	Integer indicating the minimum value in data, or a vector with the minimum values of each row (sliding window) in data. If NULL it is automatically computed.
byRow	If TRUE, the normalization is performed by rows (sliding windows). Default set to FALSE.

Details

Ranging is done by using:

X' = \frac{(x - x_{min})}{(x_{max} - x_{min})}

.

Value

data normalized between 0 and 1. If byRow is TRUE, the function returns data normalized by rows (sliding windows). max and min are returned as attributes.

Examples

data(CATS)
d <- minmax(CATS[,1])
x <- minmax.rev(d, max = attributes(d)$max, min = attributes(d)$min)
all(round(x,4)==round(CATS[,1],4))

d <- minmax(sw(CATS[,1],5), byRow = TRUE)
x <- minmax.rev(d, max = attributes(d)$max, min = attributes(d)$min)
all(round(x,4)==round(sw(CATS[,1],5),4))
