Normalisation of the indicators in static scenarios #31

Open doorleyr opened 3 years ago

doorleyr commented 3 years ago

Cityscope indicators are by default scaled to between 0 and 1 for the radar plot. Some of the indictors such as live-work score and diversity are automatically on a 0-1 scale. For others such as density and proximity, this is done by choosing a max and min value and using the formula:

ind_scaled = min(1, ((raw_value-min_value)/(max_value-min_value)))

The minimum and maximum values of each indicator should be chosen so as to span realistic ranges of these metrics and to deliver the scenario narrative effectively.

These can be edited in the static_scenario_analysis notebook by editing 'density_metrics', 'prox_metrics' etc.

The CSL types need to be fixed as described in https://github.com/CityScope/CSL_HCMC/issues/9 before this issue can be closed.
