step_measure_normalize_range() creates a specification of a recipe step that applies min-max normalization to scale each spectrum to the range 0 to 1.

Usage

step_measure_normalize_range(
  recipe,
  measures = NULL,
  role = NA,
  trained = FALSE,
  skip = FALSE,
  id = recipes::rand_id("measure_normalize_range")
)

Arguments

recipe

A recipe object. The step will be added to the sequence of operations for this recipe.

measures

An optional character vector of measure column names to process. If NULL (the default), all measure columns (columns with class measure_list) will be processed. Use this to limit processing to specific measure columns when working with multiple measurement types.

role

Not used by this step since no new variables are created.

trained

A logical to indicate if the quantities for preprocessing have been estimated.

skip

A logical. Should the step be skipped when the recipe is baked by recipes::bake()? While all operations are baked when recipes::prep() is run, some operations may not be able to be conducted on new data (e.g. processing the outcome variable(s)). Care should be taken when using skip = TRUE as it may affect the computations for subsequent operations.

id

A character string that is unique to this step to identify it.

Value

An updated version of recipe with the new step added to the sequence of any existing operations.

Details

For each spectrum \(x\), the transformation is:

$$x_{norm} = \frac{x - \min(x)}{\max(x) - \min(x)}$$

After transformation, the minimum value of each spectrum will be 0 and the maximum will be 1.

If the range is zero (constant spectrum), a warning is issued and centered values are returned (minimum subtracted but no scaling).

No selectors should be supplied to this step function. The data should be in the internal format produced by step_measure_input_wide() or step_measure_input_long().
