=== Normalize Aggregation
A parent pipeline aggregation which calculates the specific normalized/rescaled value for a specific bucket value.
Values that cannot be normalized, will be skipped using the <<gap-policy, skip gap policy>>.
==== Syntax
A `normalize` aggregation looks like this in isolation:
[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
{
"normalize": {
"buckets_path": "normalized",
"method": "percent_of_sum"
}
}
--------------------------------------------------
// NOTCONSOLE
[[normalize_pipeline-params]]
.`normalize_pipeline` Parameters
[options="header"]
|===
|Parameter Name |Description |Required |Default Value
|`buckets_path` |The path to the buckets we wish to normalize (see <<buckets-path-syntax, `buckets_path` syntax>> for more details) |Required |
|`method` | The specific <<normalize_pipeline-method, method>> to apply | Required |
|`format` |format to apply to the output value of this aggregation |Optional |`null`
|===
==== Methods
[[normalize_pipeline-method]]
The Normalize Aggregation supports multiple methods to transform the bucket values. Each method definition will use
the following original set of bucket values as examples: `[5, 5, 10, 50, 10, 20]`.
_rescale_0_1_::
This method rescales the data such that the minimum number is zero, and the maximum number is 1, with the rest normalized
linearly in-between.
x' = (x - min_x) / (max_x - min_x)
[0, 0, .1111, 1, .1111, .3333]
_rescale_0_100_::
This method rescales the data such that the minimum number is zero, and the maximum number is 1, with the rest normalized
linearly in-between.
x' = 100 * (x - min_x) / (max_x - min_x)
[0, 0, 11.11, 100, 11.11, 33.33]
_percent_of_sum_::
This method normalizes each value so that it represents a percentage of the total sum it attributes to.
x' = x / sum_x
[5%, 5%, 10%, 50%, 10%, 20%]
_mean_::
This method normalizes such that each value is normalized by how much it differs from the average.
x' = (x - mean_x) / (max_x - min_x)
[4.63, 4.63, 9.63, 49.63, 9.63, 9.63, 19.63]
_zscore_::
This method normalizes such that each value represents how far it is from the mean relative to the standard deviation
x' = (x - mean_x) / stdev_x
[-0.68, -0.68, -0.39, 1.94, -0.39, 0.19]
_softmax_::
This method normalizes such that each value is exponentiated and relative to the sum of the exponents of the original values.
x' = e^x / sum_e_x
[2.862E-20, 2.862E-20, 4.248E-18, 0.999, 9.357E-14, 4.248E-18]
==== Example
The following snippet calculates the percent of total sales for each month:
[source,console]
--------------------------------------------------
POST /sales/_search
{
"size": 0,
"aggs": {
"sales_per_month": {
"date_histogram": {
"field": "date",
"calendar_interval": "month"
},
"aggs": {
"sales": {
"sum": {
"field": "price"
}
},
"percent_of_total_sales": {
"normalize": {
"buckets_path": "sales", <1>
"method": "percent_of_sum", <2>
"format": "00.00%" <3>
}
}
}
}
}
}
--------------------------------------------------
// TEST[setup:sales]
<1> `buckets_path` instructs this normalize aggregation to use the output of the `sales` aggregation for rescaling
<2> `method` sets which rescaling to apply. In this case, `percent_of_sum` will calculate the sales value as a percent of all sales
in the parent bucket
<3> `format` influences how to format the metric as a string using Java's `DecimalFormat` pattern. In this case, multiplying by 100
and adding a '%'
And the following may be the response:
