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.
