This is a discussion of how to normalize (aka standardize) variables. The point of normalization is to make variables comparable to each other. The reason this is a problem is that measurements made using such scales of measurement as nominal, ordinal, interval and ratio are not unique. For example, you can measure temperature in both Fahrenheit and Centigrade. Both are valid, but they produce different numbers. If you want to know whether it is warmer in Seattle or Paris on a given day, and one is 68 degrees Fahrenheit and the other is 25 degrees Centigrade, you can't just say 68 is bigger than 25 so Seattle is warmer. Instead, you need to reduce the measurements to the same scale, and then compare. Normalization is the process of reducing measurements to a 'neutral' or 'standard' scale.

Normalizing is done differently depending on the level of measurement of the variables, and is intimately related to the uniqueness properties of the measurement level. See the handout on measurement theory for more information.

Nominal Scale Variables

Analog to Digital Converters (ADC) translate analog electrical signals for data processing purposes. With products matching performance, power, cost, and size needs, Analog Devices offers the industry’s largest A/D converter portfolio.

• To compare two nominal variables that may be measured using different scales, you would like to 'normalize' the values so you can see how well they correspond to each other. There is no simple normalization technique to do this, but it can be done.
  • One approach: Construct a contingency table to cross-classify observations of one variable against the other. Then, if all observations falling into a given category or the row variable fall into just one category of the column variable, you can establish a 1-1 mapping of one measurement to the other. i.e., in variable A, a '2' corresponds to a '92' means in variable B
  • More sophisticated approach: use a technique called correspondence analysis (particularly a variant called optimal scaling) to work out a set of scores that maximize correspondence

1. By Roberto Pedace. If you use natural log values for your independent variables (X) and keep your dependent variable (Y) in its original scale, the econometric specification is called a linear-log model (basically the mirror image of the log-linear model).These models are typically used when the impact of your independent variable on your dependent variable decreases as the value of.
2. Anti-logarithm calculator. In order to calculate log-1 (y) on the calculator, enter the base b (10 is the default value, enter e for e constant), enter the logarithm value y and press the = or calculate button.
3. This application note supplies a free of charge software tool that can be used to add or subtract an arbitrary number of powers. In addition, the software can be used to convert power and voltage units from the linear to the logarithmic scale (and vice versa), convert linear power and voltage ratios to decibels, and convert a VSWR to other reflection quantities.
4. I need to convert an angle in degrees to a value between 0 and 28000 on a log scale. The angle scale is linear, from 0 to 360 degrees, and the expected output should be the value for that angle from a logarithmic scale from 0 to 28000. I'm working in javascript but can probably convert algorithms from c or similar languages.

Ordinal Scale

• To normalize an ordinal scale, you convert the values to rank order values, for example, normalizing each of the scales above would yield:

• By normalizing variables, you can see whether a set of measured variables are really measuring the same thing. i.e., you take away numerical differences that are arbitrary (due to different measurement properties) and leave only the differences that reflect differences in the underlying property being measured.
• Note: we tend to use an asterisk after a variable name to indicate the normalized version of the variable

Interval Scale

• Uniqueness. Interval scales are unique up to a linear transformation (Y = mX+b). In other words, if you measure a set of objects on an interval scale, and then multiply and/or add a constant to each value, the resulting values are equally as valid as the original values. This is because the ratios of the intervals between the numbers are not affected by linear transformations. The following measurements are equally valid:

• To normalize an interval scale, you perform a linear transformation that creates a normalized version of the variable with the property that the mean is zero and the standard deviation is one. This linear transformation is called standardizing or reducing to z-scores. Normalizing each of the variables above would yield:

• Note that all the values are the same -- this indicates that all four columns are just linear transformations of each other and therefore, from an interval scaling point of view, say exactly the same thing.
• Note all also that the standardized values can be interpreted as (standard) deviations from the mean. D is just slightly above the mean of all objects on this variable, while E is quite a bit higher than the mean.

Ratio Scale

• Uniqueness. Ratio scales are unique up to a congruence or proportionality transformation (Y = mX). In other words, if you measure a set of objects on a ratio scale, and then multiply each value by a constant, the resulting values are equally as valid as the original values. This is because the ratios of the intervals between the numbers are not affected by congruence transformations. The measurements M1, M2 and M3 are equally valid measures of given object property, but M4 is not measuring the same thing:

• To normalize a ratio scale, you perform a particular 'congruence' or 'similarity' transformation that creates a normalized version of the variable with the property that the length of the vector is 1 (i.e., the Euclidean or L2 norm equals 1.0). In other words, to normalize a ratio-scaled variable, we divide each value of the variable by the square root of the sum of squares of all the original values. Normalizing each of the variables above would yield:

• Note that all the values except the last column are the same -- this indicates that the first three columns are just rescalings (in a ratio sense) of each other and therefore, measure exactly the same thing. The last column is different however, indicating that it measures something else.
• Note also that other ways of normalizing accomplish the same goal of making different measurements comparable. So we could just divide each column by the column sum, creating a new variable whose values add to 1. This allows interpretation of the rescaled values as proportions or shares of the whole. This is not the usual way but it works fine.

Difference Scale (aka Additive Scale)

• Uniqueness. Additive scales are unique up to a 'translation' transformation (Y = X + b). In other words, if you measure a set of objects on an additive scale, and then add a constant to each value, the resulting values are equally as valid as the original values. This is because the intervals between values are not affected by translation transformations. The measurements M1 and M2 are equally valid measures of given object property, but M3 is not measuring the same thing:

• To normalize an additive scale, you perform a particular translation transformation that creates a normalized version of the variable with the property that the mean of the transformed vector is 0. To do this, we just subtract the mean of the original values. Normalizing each of the variables above would yield:

• Note that all the values except the last column are the same -- this indicates that the first two columns are just rescalings of each other and therefore, say exactly the same thing. The last column is different however, indicating that it measures something else.
• Note also that other ways of normalizing accomplish the same goal of making different measurements comparable. So we could just subtract the column sum from each value

Absolute Scale

• Uniqueness. Absolute scales are unique up to an identity transformation (Y = X). In other words, they are completely unique and no (non-trivial) transformation of the numbers is permissible.
• As a result of their uniqueness, no normalization of absolute-scaled variables is needed (nor exists).

Scaling is the determination of the gross and net volume of logs. The primary purpose of scaling is to determine the volume by product or species that will be charged at a predetermined rate, also known as 'scaling for payment'.

Conventional scaling entails measuring log diameters and lengths, and applying an approved set of rules to deduct for defects. This process is to determine the gross and net volume of a given number (generally log truck loads) of logs. Every log in every load (1-in-1, or 100%) can be scaled, or any one of a number of approved sampling methods can be used, such as scaling a portion of the loads, 3P scaling, or sample weight scaling. Another method being used more frequently is weight scaling, especially on low value material where there is a single species/product, or where all the products being weighed are close to or of the same value. Scale volume may be expressed in terms of cubic feet, board feet, cords, tons, linear feet, or number of pieces.
