public class StandardDeviationScaling
extends java.lang.Object
implements OutlierScaling
    Scaling that can map arbitrary values to a probability in the range of [0:1].

    Transformation is done using the formula \(\max\{0, \mathrm{erf}(\lambda \frac{x-\mu}{\sigma\sqrt{2}})\}\)

    Where mean can be fixed to a given value, and stddev is then computed against this mean.

    • Method Detail

      • getScaled

        public double getScaled​(double value)
        Specified by:
        getScaled in interface elki.utilities.scaling.ScalingFunction

      • prepare

        public void prepare​(OutlierResult or)
        Description copied from interface: OutlierScaling
        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 outlier scores.
        Specified by:
        prepare in interface OutlierScaling
        Parameters:
        or - Outlier result to use

      • prepare

        public <A> void prepare​(A array,
                        elki.utilities.datastructures.arraylike.NumberArrayAdapter<?,​A> adapter)
        Description copied from interface: OutlierScaling
        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 score array. The method using a full OutlierResult is preferred, as it will allow access to the metadata.
        Specified by:
        prepare in interface OutlierScaling
        Parameters:
        array - Data to process
        adapter - Array adapter

      • getMin

        public double getMin()
        Specified by:
        getMin in interface elki.utilities.scaling.ScalingFunction

      • getMax

        public double getMax()
        Specified by:
        getMax in interface elki.utilities.scaling.ScalingFunction
