Bi-Exponential scale/trasformation #26

Closed sinnamone closed 3 years ago

sinnamone commented 4 years ago

Hi,

I'm wondering if there's a possibility to reproduce with this package the bi-exponential transformation/scaling that is implemented in flow-jo.

Thanks in advance,

Best regard

Simone

Hi Simone,

The available transformations are linear, hlog, glog, tlog.

It's been a really long time since I've thought about these (~7 years+). So i don't remember whether a bi-exponential scale is one of the existing non-linear transformations under a different name or whether it was largely unnecessary given the presence of the hlog/glog/tlog transforms.

If you have the time you can try to read through the papers referenced in the documentation (attaching here for ease):
