Betaileu Nethouology

Eveiy numbei useu is tiansfoimeu into an inuex ianging fiom u to 1 using the following foimula
foi the vaiiable x:
i(x) =
x min(x)
max(x) min(x)

Foi vaiiables evolving along an exponential pattein (such as uBP oi numbei of patents), the
foimula useu is:
i(x) =
ln x ln min(x)
lnmax(x) lnmin(x)

The numbeis useu in the following foimulas aie not the iaw vaiiables, but the coiiesponuing
inuexes.
