SCALE

Scales or normalizes the range of data in a numeric column.

Parameters

  • sourceColumn – The name of an existing column.

  • strategy – The operation to be applied to the column values:

    • MIN_MAX – Rescales the values into a range of [0,1]

    • SCALE_BETWEEN – Rescales the values into a range of 2 specified values.

    • MEAN_NORMALIZATION – Rescales the data to have a mean (μ) of 0 and standard deviation (σ) of 1 within a range of [-1, 1]

    • Z_SCORE – Linearly scale data values to have a mean (μ) of 0 and standard deviation (σ) of 1. Best for handling outliers.

  • targetColumn – The name of a column to contain the results.

    "Action": {
        "Operation": "NORMALIZATION",
        "Parameters": {
            "sourceColumn": "all_votes",
            "strategy": "MIN_MAX",
            "targetColumn": "all_votes_normalized"
