scal: Scale a vector

In ConnorFWhite/AssFunc: What the package does (short line)

Description

This is designed to rescale a vector, between two numbers. often designed for plotting purposes to scale valeus for point sizes

Usage

scal(x, scal = c(0, 1), lims = NULL, sqrt = F, na.rm = F, limit = TRUE)

Arguments

x	numbers to be rescaled
scal	vector of two listing the new minimum and maximum values
lims	values that should represent the minimum and maximum scaled value
sqrt	should the data be square root transformed
na.rm	how to handle NAs
limit	TRUE/FALSE if lims is supplied, should values smaller than the minimum lims or greater than the maximum lims be limited to the minimum and maximum scal

Value

a vector of rescaled values

Examples

values<-rnorm(100)

#rescale the values between 0 and 1
scal(values,scal=c(0,1))

#in order to minimize influence of outliers
scal(values,scal=c(0,1), lims=c(-1,1))

#allow values outside of -1 and 1 to get bigger and smaller
scal(values,scal=c(0,1), lims=c(-1,1),limit=FALSE)
