timeSeries (version 3022.101.2)

scale: scale

Description

Scales a 'timeSeries' object.

Value

Returns a centered and/or scaled 'timeSeries' object.

Details

scale is a function to center and/or scale the columns of a 'timeSeries' object. The value of center determines how column centering is performed. If center is a numeric vector with length equal to the number of columns of x, then each column of x has the corresponding value from center subtracted from it. If center is TRUE then centering is done by subtracting the column means (omitting NAs) of x from their corresponding columns, and if center is FALSE, no centering is done.

The value of scale determines how column scaling is performed (after centering). If scale is a numeric vector with length equal to the number of columns of x, then each column of x is divided by the corresponding value from scale. If scale is TRUE then scaling is done by dividing the (centered) columns of x by their standard deviations if center is TRUE, and the root mean square otherwise. If scale is FALSE, no scaling is done.

Examples

## Load Series:
   x <- 100* LPP2005REC[, c("SBI", "SPI")]
   
## Scale and Center -
   X <- scale(x)
   hist(X[, 1], prob=TRUE)
   s <- seq(-3, 3, length=201)
   lines(s, dnorm(s), col="red")
