#' Function to generate data transformation functions for the T1 methods
#'
#' \code{generates_transformation_functions_T1} is the argument for the
#'   parameter \code{generates_transform_functions} in \code{genera_T}, which
#'   is used in the T1 method. In addtion, the Ta method also uses this function
#'   for the argument.
#'
#' @param unit_space_data Matrix with n rows (samples) and (p + 1) columns
#'                          (variables). Data to generate the unit space. All
#'                          data should be continuous values and should not have
#'                          missing values.
#'
#' @return \code{generates_transformation_functions_T1} returns a list
#'           containing three functions. For the first component, the data
#'           transformation function for independent variables is a function
#'           that subtracts the mean of each independent variable. For the
#'           second component, the data transformation function for a dependent
#'           variable is a function that subtracts the mean of a dependent
#'           variable. For the third component, the inverse function of the data
#'           transformation function for a dependent variable is a function that
#'           adds the mean of a dependent variable. The mean used is the mean of
#'           the \code{unit_space_data}.

#' Function to generate data transformation functions for the Tb methods
#'
#' \code{generates_transformation_functions_Tb} is the argument for the
#'   parameter \code{generates_transform_functions} in \code{genera_T}, which
#'   is used in the Tb method.
#'
#' @param sample_data Matrix with n rows (samples) and (p + 1) columns
#'                      (variables). The Tb method uses all data to generate the
#'                      unit space. All data should be continuous values and
#'                      should not have missing values.
#' @param subtracts_V_e If \code{TRUE}, then the error variance is subtracted in
#'                        the numerator when calculating \code{eta_hat}.
#'
#' @return \code{generates_transformation_functions_Tb} returns a list
#'           containing three functions. For the first component, the data
#'           transformation function for independent variables is a function
#'           that subtracts the center of each independent variable. The center
#'           is determined in a specific manner for the Tb method. The center
#'           consists of each sample value which maximizes the signal-to-noise
#'           ratio (S/N) per independent variable. The values are determined
#'           independently so that different samples may be selected for
#'           different variables. For the second component, the data
#'           transformation function for a dependent variable is a function that
#'           subtracts the dependent variable of the sample which maximizes the
#'           S/N per independent variable. For the third component, the inverse
#'           function of the data transformation function for a dependent
#'           variable is a function that adds the weighted mean of a dependent
#'           variable. The weighted mean is calculated based on the S/N and the
#'           frequency of being selected in independent variables.
