public class SqrtStandardDeviationScaling
extends Object
implements OutlierScalingFunction

Scaling that can map arbitrary values to a probability in the range of [0:1]. Transformation is done using the formulas y = sqrt(x - min) newscore = max(0, erf(lambda * (y - mean) / (stddev * sqrt(2)))) Where min and mean can be fixed to a given value, and stddev is then computed against this mean.

Method Detail

getScaled

public double getScaled(double value)

Description copied from interface: ScalingFunction

Transform a given value using the scaling function.

Specified by:

getScaled in interface ScalingFunction

Parameters:

value - Original value

Returns:

Scaled value

prepare

public void prepare(OutlierResult or)

Description copied from interface: OutlierScalingFunction

Prepare is called once for each data set, before getScaled() will be called. This function can be used to extract global parameters such as means, minimums or maximums from the Database, Result or Annotation.

Specified by:

prepare in interface OutlierScalingFunction

Parameters:

or - Outlier result to use

getMin

public double getMin()

Description copied from interface: ScalingFunction

Get minimum resulting value. May be Double.NaN or Double.NEGATIVE_INFINITY.

Specified by:

getMin in interface ScalingFunction

Returns:

Minimum resulting value.

getMax

public double getMax()

Description copied from interface: ScalingFunction

Get maximum resulting value. May be Double.NaN or Double.POSITIVE_INFINITY.

Specified by:

getMax in interface ScalingFunction

Returns:

Maximum resulting value.
