Re: Re: number normalization

can anyone provide a sample equation for a non-linear equation example? i.e. log, exponential, etc. ... (anything else you can think of). i would like to emphasize the numbers that are larger vs. the numbers that are smaller.

`perl -e ' for( 0.03, 0.4, 5, 10 ) { print int(10**$_), "\n" } ' 1 2 100000 10000000000` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

how about an equation that would normalize a number based on a non-linear equation similar to this equation ($hi and $lo are the `$hi` and `$lo` values in the dataset, and `$HIVAL` and `$LOVAL` are the output ranges for the normalized dataset) `my $num = 1 + ($output{$key}-$lo)*($HIVAL-$LOVAL)/($hi-$lo);` [download] thanks for all your input!!
