Simplify
Objectives
The objective of the user task is to simplify rate data and reduce the number of steps in a gauge. The task reuses the simplification algorithm of the corrected production procedure.
Input
Data type – type of the rate data to simplify.
Step data – rate data to be simplified.
Simplify method – Simplifies the data if the difference between neighboring rate steps is less than a certain threshold rate value (AbsoluteDeltaY) or a fraction/% (RelativeDeltaY); if two consecutive steps are evolving less than the value specified in ΔY field, the rates are merged honoring the cumulative value.
ΔY – threshold value used by the simplify method.
Output
Simplified data – simplified rate data.
