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
