# convenience functions for ratioScales

#' Rescale variables to start values by group
#'
#' Convenience wrapper of \code{dplyr::group_by} and \code{dplyr::mutate} to
#' scale variables, especially time-series, by series start values
#'
#' @param df data.frame
#' @param col_vars variable names (quoted or unquoted) to rescale to initial
#' values
#' @param group_vars variable names (quoted or unquoted) to group `col_vars` by
#'
#'
#' @return data.frame with all original data and new `rel_` columns for each
#' rescaled variable
