class plspm.scale.Scale

Bases: enum.Enum

Used to specify the measurement type of a manifest variable when performing calculations with nonmetric data.

  • RAW for numerical variables that require no transformation;
  • NUM for numerical variables that are suitable for linear transformation;
  • ORD for ordinal variables that are suitable for monotonic transformation;
  • NOM for nominal variables that are suitable for non-monotonic transformation.
NOM = <plspm.scale._Nominal object>
NUM = <plspm.scale._Numeric object>
ORD = <plspm.scale._Ordinal object>
RAW = <plspm.scale._Raw object>
