Parameters

input database file

The input database file with the data to normalize.

normalize by

The direction in the table to perform the normailzation.

output database file

The output database file that will contain the normalized data.

division by zero value (max=min)

The value to assign when the resulting normalization requires a division by zero, as is the case when the minimum is also the maximum.

scale minimum to

The minimum value for the normalized data.

scale maximum to

The maximum value for the normalized data.

decimal places to round to

The number of places to round the normalized data to.

columns to normalize

The columns to normalize. If no columns are selected normalization will be performed on all columns that are numeric.

Code Reference

uiNormMinMax.normalize(inName, outName, start, end, direction, minEqMax, fieldNames, decimalPlaces)

Creates a DBF with minimum-maxiumum normalized values from an existing DBF.

Arguments :

inName The input DBF filename. outName The ouput DBF filename. start The minimum value to contain in the output range. end The maximum value to caontain in the output range. direction The direction in which to determine minimum and maximum values in the input range. minEqMax The value to assign if the minimum is equal to the maxium. (division by zero) fieldNames The fields on which to perform the normalization. decimalPlace The number of decimal places to which numbers should be rounded.
