public InvertibleFunction<Long2DoubleMap,Long2DoubleMap> makeTransformation(Long2DoubleMap reference)

Description copied from interface: VectorNormalizer

Create a vector transformation that normalizes and denormalizes vectors with respect to a reference vector. The reference vector is used to compute any data needed for the normalization. For example, a mean-centering normalization will subtract the mean of the reference vector from any vector to which it is applied, and add back the reference mean when it is unapplied.

This allows transformations to be applied multiple times to different vectors and also unapplied.

If the reference vector is empty, the returned transformation should be the identity transform. Results are undefined if the reference vector is not complete or contains NaN values.

If the normalization needs to retain a copy of the sparse vector, it will take an immutable copy.

Specified by:

makeTransformation in interface VectorNormalizer

Parameters:

reference - The reference vector.

Returns:

A transformation built from the reference vector.
