Scale extreme values for faster convergence #1

Open sjewo opened 8 years ago

sjewo commented 8 years ago

Adjust data to change original area / distorted area ratio to be lower than an maximum threshold, so the algorithm convergences faster (e.g. adjust extreme low or high feature values ).

Thanks to @mtennekes for pointing this out! (https://github.com/mtennekes/tmap/issues/10#issuecomment-243431036)
