The Transformation Function classes are used to define the particular transformation function to apply to the input raster values. There are thirteen transformation function classes, each of which defines a specific function. When a transformation function object is defined, that function will be applied to each cell in the raster and the resulting function values will be linearly transformed to the specified evaluation scale. The transformation function object is an optional parameter in the Rescale by Function tool.
If you do not define a transformation function object, then the default MSSmall transformation function is used.

Tools that use the transformation objects
Once several input rasters have been transformed, the rasters can be used in various applications, the most common being for suitability modeling.
