# Noisy level, minmax scaling

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

The same rows scaled to the 0–1 range using their minimum and maximum.

## Input

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

## Output

Largest difference: **7.2e-8** (< 0.0001% of the input's range).

Every forecast row from both libraries.

## Timing

Median of all measured repetitions.

| Step | Effect Prophet | Python Prophet | Effect Prophet is |
| --- | ---: | ---: | --- |
| Fit | 3.85 ms | 19.8 ms | 5.1× faster |
| Predict | 273 µs | 2.64 ms | 9.7× faster |
| Save model to JSON | 21 µs | 429 µs | 20× faster |
| Load model from JSON | 148 µs | 2.08 ms | 14× faster |
| Load and predict in a new process | 161 ms | 1.43 s | 8.9× faster |
