d.low: Low values are desirable

In desiR: Desirability Functions for Ranking, Selecting, and Integrating Data

Description

Maps a numeric variable to a 0-1 scale such that low values are desirable.

Usage

d.low(x, cut1, cut2, des.min = 0, des.max = 1, scale = 1)

Arguments

x	Vector of numeric or integer values.
cut1, cut2	Values of the original data that define where the desirability function changes.
des.min, des.max	Minimum and maximum desirability values. Defaults to zero and one, respectively.
scale	Controls how steeply the function increases or decreases.

Details

Values less than cut1 will have a high desirability. Values greater than cut2 will have a low desirability. Values between cut1 and cut2 will have intermediate values.

Value

Numeric vector of desirability values.

Examples

set.seed(1)
x <- rnorm(1000, mean=100, sd =5) # generate data
d <- d.low(x, cut1=90, cut2=110, scale=1)

# plot data
hist(x, breaks=30)
# add line
des.line(x, "d.low", des.args=c(cut1=90, cut2=110, scale=1))

hist(x, breaks=30)
des.line(x, "d.low", des.args=c(cut1=90, cut2=110, des.min=0.1,
des.max=0.95, scale=1.5))
