  with GL =  0.74 +/-  2.56


The best scaler that fits the data well is "bbcbb". The GL value  (
GL =  0.74 +/-  2.56) seems reasonable, however the error is large relative to the actual value.
I think, it is reasonable to fix the GL to 0.5. Below is the result fixing GL=0.5.

The best alternative to the "bbcbb" would be "vpdw", however, it doesn't describe the data well as "bbcbb" does.
