# Perfectly constant, minmax scaling

 [← All flat growth benchmarks](/benchmarks/flat)

The same identical values, where minmax scaling has no range to divide by.

## Input

[`benchmark/inputs/v1/flat-constant.json`](https://github.com/jer-k/effect-prophet/blob/main/benchmark/inputs/v1/flat-constant.json): 96 history rows and 24 forecast rows.

## Output

Largest difference: **0**.

Every forecast row from both libraries.

## Timing

Median of all measured repetitions.

| Step | Effect Prophet | Python Prophet | Effect Prophet is |
| --- | ---: | ---: | --- |
| Fit | 1.20 ms | 3.08 ms | 2.6× faster |
| Predict | 235 µs | 2.65 ms | 11× faster |
| Save model to JSON | 18 µs | 402 µs | 22× faster |
| Load model from JSON | 123 µs | 2.11 ms | 17× faster |
| Load and predict in a new process | 159 ms | 1.54 s | 9.7× faster |
