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
