Understanding Influence and Strength Parameters

When working with our platform, you'll encounter two related parameters: Influence (shown in the webapp) and Strength (used in the API). This article explains how these parameters relate to each other and how to convert between them.

Overview

• Influence: A value ranging from 1 to 100 displayed in the webapp interface

• Strength: The corresponding API parameter, ranging from 0.01 to 1.00

Conversion Formula

The conversion between Influence and Strength follows this formula:

Strength = 1 - Influence + 0.01

Quick Reference Table

Here are some example conversions:

Converting Values

From Influence to Strength

To convert an Influence value to its corresponding Strength:

1. Take your Influence value (1-100)

2. Subtract it from 1

3. Add 0.01

4. Round to 2 decimal places

For example:
If Influence = 80 -> Strength = 1 - 80 + 0.01 = 0.21

Implementation

Here's the conversion function used in our system:

export const reverseStrength = (value: number): number => {

  return parseFloat((1 - value + 0.01).toFixed(2));

};

Important Notes

• Influence values should always be whole numbers between 1 and 100

• Strength values will always be between 0.01 and 1.00

• Results are always rounded to 2 decimal places
