Suppose you have a variable ''estimate[a,b,t]'' which you want scale to match ''targetControl_tot[t]''. Two equivalent statements are: target[a,b,t] = norm (estimate[a,b,t]; dim1=a, dim2=b) * targetControl_tot[t] and target[a,b,t] = targetControl_tot[t] / estimate_tot[t] * estimate[a,b,t] where estimate_tot[t] = sum (estimate[a,b,t]; dim1=a, dim2=b) targetControl_tot[t] = sum (target[a,b,t]; dim1=a, dim2=b)
