scaleData {VCA}

Scale Response Variable to Ensure Robust Numerical Calculations

Description

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'.

Usage

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

Value

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