Functions

linearscaling(x, new_min, new_max[, ...])

Linearly rescale input from its original range to a new range.

linearscaling(x, new_min, new_max, old_min=None, old_max=None, axis=None)

Linearly rescale input from its original range to a new range.

Parameters
  • x (scalar-or-array) – scalar or arrays of scalars in [old_min, old_max] of shape (n, *shape)

  • new_min (scalar-or-array) – scalar or array of shape (*shape,)

  • new_max (scalar-or-array) – scalar or array of shape (*shape,)

  • old_min (scalar-or-array?) – (default=x.min())

  • old_max (scalar-or-array?) – (default=x.max())

  • axis (int?) – (default=None)

Returns

scalar or array of scalars in [new_min, new_max] of shape (n, *shape)

Example

>>> linearscaling(0, -10, 10, 0, 1)
-10.0

When the original range is not passed on, it is considered to be the interval in which the input values are.

>>> x = numpy.arange(0, 1, 0.1)
>>> linearscaling(x, 0, 10)
array([0., 1., 2., 3., 4., 5., 6., 7., 8., 9.])
>>> linearscaling(x, 0, 10, 0, 2)
array([0. , 0.5, 1. , 1.5, 2. , 2.5, 3. , 3.5, 4. , 4.5])

Linear scaling can be performed on dfferent series of data having different ranges provided that the new minima/maxima are specfied for each serie.

>>> new_min = numpy.array([0, 0])
>>> new_max = numpy.array([1, 100])
>>> old_min = numpy.array([0, 0])
>>> old_max = numpy.array([10, 10])
>>> x = numpy.arange(0, 1, 0.1).reshape(5, 2)
>>> x
array([[0. , 0.1],
   [0.2, 0.3],
   [0.4, 0.5],
   [0.6, 0.7],
   [0.8, 0.9]])
>>> linearscaling(x, new_min, new_max, old_min, old_max)
array([[ 0.1, 10. ],
   [ 0.2, 20. ],
   [ 0.3, 30. ],
   [ 0.4, 40. ],
   [ 0.5, 50. ]])
