Ratioscaled
Ratioscaled is an adjective used to describe data, measurements, or representations that have been transformed through a scaling operation based on a ratio between a target scale and an original scale. The term emphasizes that the transformation preserves proportional relationships by multiplying quantities by a constant or by a set of ratios across components.
The concept sits at the intersection of normalization and unit conversion. In practice, ratio scaling is employed
There are two common variants. Uniform ratio scaling applies a single scale factor across all components, x'
Advantages of ratio-scaled transformations include preserving relative proportions and straightforward implementation. Limitations include potential distortion if
