NAME

       svm-scale - scale data to a restricted range as preprocessing for SVM training

SYNOPSIS

       svm-scale [ -l lower ] [ -u upper ] [ -y y_upper ] [ -s save_filename ] [ -r restore_filename ] datafilename

DESCRIPTION

       svm-scale  reads  the  given  datafilename (a training or testing data file as specified in svm_train(1) or svm_predict(1) ) and scales all
       dimensions to the given ranges.

OPTIONS

       -l lower
	      lower is the lowest (minimal) value allowed in each dimension.  It defaults to -1.

       -u upper
	      upper is the highest (maximal) value allowed in each dimension.  It defaults to 1.

       -y y_lower
	      y_lower is a boolean value (0 or 1) indicating whether or not y-values (targets) should be scaled.  It defaults to 0.

       -s save_filename
	      save_filename indicates the filename to save the scaled data to.

       -r restore_filename
	      restore_filename indicates the filename reserved to hold the original (unscaled) data in case there is a need to restore.

FILES

       datafilename must be a training or testing dataset.

ENVIRONMENT

       No environment variables.

DIAGNOSTICS

       None documented; see Vapnik et al.
