P.numnorm()

Description:

The external library function (See External Library Guide) normalizes a table sequence/record sequence numeric variable during modeling.

Sytnax:

P.numnorm(cn)

During modeling, normalize numeric variable cn and return a binary sequence containing the normalization result and normalization process records Rec

P.numnorm@r(cn, Rec)

During scoring, normalize numeric variable cn according to normalization process records Rec

Parameter:

P

A table sequence/record sequence

cn

A string/number, which is the name of column (or the column number starting from 1) – the to-be-pre-processed variable – in a table sequence or record sequence

Rec

A sequence of normalization process records

Option:

@c

Modify the original data to the normalization result after execution

Return value:

A sequence

Example:

 

A

 

1

=T("D://house_prices_train.csv")

Import modeling data.

2

=T("D://house_prices_test.csv")

Import scoring data.

3

=A1.numnorm("LotArea")

Normalize variable “LotArea”:

A3(1) Normalization result;

A3(2) Normalization process records Rec.

4

=A2.numnorm@r("LotArea",A3(2))

Normalize variable “LotArea” on scoring data in the same rule according to A3’s normalization process records Rec.
