Data normalization with threshold

15 views (last 30 days)
Hi, I am interested in normalizing my data between 0 and 1. However, I do have a threshold value/limit value that I would like to use while normalizing. Example: data: [10,30,50,75], threshold value: [70]. Good data is when it does not exceed 70. I am not sure how to incorporate this threshold while normalizing data. Please help

I am not certain what you want to do.
Perhaps one of these —
data = [10,30,50,75];
threshold_value = [70];
Result = normalize(data(data<=threshold_value), 'range',[0 1]) % Scale Only The Data To Be Considered
Result = 1×3
0 0.5000 1.0000
B = [70 1; 0 1] \ [1; 0]; % Scaling Parameters
Result = [data(data<=threshold_value).' ones(size(data(data<=threshold_value).'))] * B % Scale [0 70] —> [0 1]
Result = 3×1
0.1429 0.4286 0.7143
The first scales only the data that are less than 70 to [0 1]. The second scales [0 70] to [0 1], regardless of the data, although both limit the data to [0 70].

Thank you for all the help @Star Strider. If there a way I could put in a recognition for helping me solve this problem I would :)

As always, my pleasure!
Accepting and voting for it is enough. Reputation points are how recognition is provided.
This will also be for other people with similar problems. For my part, I wrote the ‘Scaled’ anonymous function that I expanded to an anonymous function that can do a bivariate linear regression in a single line.
I also edited the code in my previous Comment so that the ‘ScaledResult’ table now has row names for ‘A’-‘C’, with the variable names being the days. I originally set it up for the earlier data, and now with different single data it needs to have a different format. The code in that Comment is otherwise unchanged.
