Normal score forward

This task transforms data into values that follow a standard normal distribution, also known as a gaussian distribution. It preserves the values' rank order. It comes in handy because some geostatistical methods are designed to work with gaussian data.

Parameters

• source (geoscience object reference)
  • A geoscience object reference that points to a one-dimensional continuous attribute inside a pointset or downhole-intervals object.
• target (geoscience object reference)
  • A geoscience object reference that tells the task where to save the result. It must point to an attribute inside a pointset, downhole-intervals, regular-3d-grid, or regular-masked-3d-grid object.
• distribution (geoscience object reference)
  • A geoscience object reference that points to a non-parametric-continuous-cumulative-distribution object. This should be the distribution of your source data.

Example

For more information, see the normal score forward API reference.

Tips

• The source and target can use the same object, but they don't have to.
