How to reapply rescaling when you want to predict your data

UserBird

I created a Decision Tree model and I want to export it so I can use it outside of Dataiku.

I took the pickle file and loaded into Python to continue using it there.

import pickle

f = open('clf.pkl', 'rb')
loaded_model = pickle.load(f, encoding='latin1')

On model settings, I used standard rescaling which uses the avgstd. Dataiku also exports this json file with details about the rescaling:

Let's say I have a new input with the original values (before rescaling). How can I use the above information to rescale all the features on the new object I have to predict the results?

Hi,

For each column:

rescaled_feature = (input_feature - shift) * inv_scale
