reScale

Rescale a numeric vector to a specified minimum and maximum.

Enables the calibration and analysis of radiocarbon dates, often but not exclusively for the purposes of archaeological research. It includes functions not only for basic calibration, uncalibration, and plotting of one or more dates, but also a statistical framework for building demographic and related longitudinal inferences from aggregate radiocarbon date lists, including: Monte-Carlo simulation test (Timpson et al 2014 <doi:10.1016/j.jas.2014.08.011>), random mark permutation test (Crema et al 2016 <doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0154809>) and spatial permutation tests (Crema, Bevan, and Shennan 2017 <doi:10.1016/j.jas.2017.09.007>).

reScale function

<dl><dt>x</dt>
<dd>numeric vector to smooth.</dd>
<dt>type</dt>
<dd>what kind of rescaling to perform. Current options are 'simple' (default) and 'normal' which produces a z-score and 'custom' for which the 'to' argument must be specified.</dd>
<dt>to</dt>
<dd>numeric vector of length 2 specifying the minimum and maximum value to perform a linear rescale between (default is 0 and 1)</dd>
<dt>na.rm</dt>
<dd>Set to TRUE,this removes NAs before rescaling.</dd></dl>
