I have now tried to use sklearns StandardScaler() and MinMaxScaler() inside a Custom Factor function to be able to impose if conditions.

However, as can be seen in the attached notebook, for both formulas I cannot get the correct scaling with the StandardScaler() and MinMaxScaler().

I would appreciate it if somebody could tell me where my formula is wrong. Again I am trying to scale across assets per timestamp.

The issue is not supplying the final screen as a mask to the factors. Without a mask ALL securities are passed to a factor. The enterprise_value_minmaxscaled factor therefore scales across all securities then, when the pipeline is run, some are excluded from the results because of the QTradableStocksUSscreen. These excluded securities happen to be the min values.

So, add something like this

# Add the same factor mask as the screen to ensure the same 'universe' for both  
ml_pipe=make_ml_pipeline(make_factors(QTradableStocksUS()), QTradableStocksUS())


# Add a mask parameter when creating each of the factors  
def make_factors(mask):  
    def enterprise_value_original():  
        return Fundamentals.enterprise_value.latest  
    def enterprise_value_minmaxscaled():  
        return Nullfilling_minmaxscaled([Fundamentals.enterprise_value], mask=mask)  
    def enterprise_value_standardscaled():  
        return Nullfilling_standardscaled([Fundamentals.enterprise_value], mask=mask)  
    def enterprise_value_nulls():  
        return Nullindicator([Fundamentals.enterprise_value], mask=mask)  
    def enterprise_value_nulls_minmaxscaled():  
        return Nullindicator_minmaxscaled([Fundamentals.enterprise_value], mask=mask)

    def enterprise_value_nulls_standardscaled():  
        return Nullindicator_standardscaled([Fundamentals.enterprise_value], mask=mask)

    all_factors={  
            'enterprise_value_original':enterprise_value_original,  
            'enterprise_value_minmaxscaled':enterprise_value_minmaxscaled,  
            'enterprise_value_standardscaled':enterprise_value_standardscaled,  
            'enterprise_value_nulls':enterprise_value_nulls,  
            'enterprise_value_nulls_minmaxscaled':enterprise_value_nulls_minmaxscaled,  
            'enterprise_value_nulls_standardscaled':enterprise_value_nulls_standardscaled  
        }  
    return all_factors

See attached notebook. The enterprise_value_minmaxscaled min value is now zero after applying the mask.

Hope that helps.

Thank you Dan, easy and elegant solution!
