Min-Max Normalization

This function rescales a numeric vector using the min-max normalization technique, which linearly transforms the values to a new range specified by the a and b arguments. The minimum value in the original vector is mapped to a, and the maximum value is mapped to b.

Usage

minmax(x, a = 0, b = 1, drop.na = TRUE)

Arguments

x

A numeric vector.

a

The minimum value of the new range (default: 0).

b

The maximum value of the new range (default: 1).

drop.na

A logical value indicating whether to remove missing values (NA) from the calculations. If TRUE (the default), missing values will be removed. If FALSE, missing values will be included.

Value

A numeric vector of the same length as x, with values rescaled to the new range [a, b].
