Ok so I am new and rusty to math and I recently got a project and it involves much statistical math. I am very new to this type of math and I have a question, I am building a C++ function that would calculate the similarity of a users age needs:
So in an example a man want to talk to women that are between 30-40 years old.
The women that fall into that age range receive a value of 1.0.
Now in my paper it say that the scoring model uses a slope of 0.15 points per year over the specified age range and a slope of 0.25 points per year under the age range. It states in the paper "As an example, a 42 year old woman would be assigned a normalized value of 0.85 [(0.70)(0.5)+(0.5)]".
Can someone break this down for me into a more easier to understand concept or just tell me how they got the 0.85?
I want to write this in code so I need kinda a better understanding of the formula.
What if she was 29 or 22 etc etc.
Also my email is abelusmc@gmail.com
Thank you I appreciate it!!!
