scaleData function

Scale Response Variable to Ensure Robust Numerical Calculations

Function determines scaling factor for transforming the mean of the response to a range between 0.1 and 1, applies scaling of the response and binds the scaling factor to the data as attribute 'scale'.

scaleData(Data = NULL, resp = NULL)

Arguments

• Data: (data.frame) with the data to be fitted and the response to be scaled
• resp: (character) name of the (numeric) response variable

Returns

(data.frame) with the response scaled according to the scaling-factor, which is recorded in the attribute scale of the data set
