Introduction Often economic and other Machine Learning data are of different units or sizes making either estimation, interpretation or visualization difficult. The solution to these issues can be handled if the data can be transformed to unitless or data of similar magnitude. When the need to transform thus arises, then one finds it difficult to get handy function to achieve that. In this blog, I share with you a function data_transform from Dyn4cast package that can easily transform your data.

Introduction In statistics, Mallows's Cp, named for Colin Lingwood Mallows, an English statistician, is used to assess the fit of a regression model that has been estimated using ordinary least squares. Models with a Mallows' Cp value near P+1 (i.e. the number of explanatory variables + 1) have a low bias. If every potential model has a high value for Mallows' Cp, this indicates that some important predictor variables are likely missing from each model.
